For years I've been campaigning against the Olympic Mountains. They get in the way of our sunset view, they could be razed in favor of massive condo developments, and make the process of getting to the western-most point in the contiguous United States a complete pain in the ass.
But today, my friends, they have bailed the City of Seattle out in a major way. I nominate the "Doughnut of Power" as the greatest convergence-zone related weather phenomenon of 2008.
