Why Seattle homes are different

Seattle's roughly 150 rainy days a year keep ground and crawlspace moisture elevated for most of the year, not just during isolated storm events, which is why prevention (sealed crawlspaces, roof maintenance) matters more here than emergency response.

Seattle's classic craftsman bungalows have steep-pitched roofs designed to shed near-constant rain, but their original crawlspaces were rarely vapor-sealed, and moss growth on aging cedar-shake and composition roofing is a common early sign of a roof past its service life.
