The Wettest U.S. Cities

The wettest cities in the U.S. are Hilo Hawaii, Quillayute Washington, and Astoria Oregon. Why is the highest depression rate in the north west U.S. That's because the majority of the wettest cities are located in northwestern part of the country. This is because the winds pick up water as they cross the Pacific Ocean. This is somewhat of an orographic uplift because the winds are coming up onto the coast. Also the north west has the biggest mountain ranges making the water reach the dew point sooner and making it rain.
