It will depend on what you like - I know plenty of people here who are happy and unhappy with the weather. Personally I love it. The most intolerable thing about living in the Midwest before moving here was the winter. When it gets below freezing, I actively dread going outside, no matter how many layers I wear. The heavy snow that makes driving so treacherous and miserable doesn't happen in Seattle, nor does the extreme cold. Reports of the rain are largely exaggerated...what I would have considered a light or medium rain in Ohio would be the beginning of a biblical flood here. During the rainy season it's usually just lightly misting, and almost always above freezing.

If you are like me and dislike extremity of temperature, then you'll like Seattle. If you don't care about temperature as long as it is sunny, then you will not like it. Either way, you should at least visit during the summer! Consistently sunny, 70's, surrounded by mountains, trees and beautiful bodies of water...this is what the people who hate the weather stay for. :-)
