Home State of Rainy Seattle Declares Drought
SEATTLE (Reuters) - With snowpacks at a quarter of normal levels and sunny, warm

days well ahead of the summer months, the home state of the "rainy city" of Seattle

declared a drought emergency on Thursday. Washington state Gov. Christine Gregoire

authorized the statewide drought emergency, the first since 2001, after unusually

low winter snowfalls in the Cascades left rivers on both sides of the mountain

range flowing at record-low levels.
