In a nutshell. . . yes. I don't live in Seattle, but live about 150 miles south of there and have spent a lot of time in Seattle as well has having friends that live there. Basically it is like this: Summer is decent. You get a few rainy and cold days in the summer, but for the most part late June, July and August are nice. It will regularly get into the 80's and often into the 90's and be sunny and nice. However, it starts to rain around late Oct early Nov and it doesn't stop until the next spring. It isn't a downpour all the time. There are some heavy rain days, but most days it is a nice constant drizzle.
The show mostly showed it caught during one of those periods of heavy rain and it was meant to show the weather off as a character in the show as well as lend a mood to the whole feel of the show and act as a metaphor. When it rains on Sarah Linden it pours.
