Local housing stock
Building in Seattle clusters in the mid 1970s: the median unit dates to 1976, with 60.2 percent finished before 1990. Craftsman and mid-century wood-frame houses step down the hills, many with daylight basements cut into the slope and later infill between them. Water enters at the buried uphill wall, through cedar-choked downspouts, and along roof edges that never get a dry interval.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 38.45 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.92 fall in November; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.2 miles away at MERCER ISLAND 1.5 NW. November leads at 5.92 inches, but the load is duration. Weeks of light rain keep the bank saturated, so a daylight basement holds groundwater at the back wall long after a single storm would have passed.
Common water damage problems in Seattle
- Months of light rain keeping hillside soil saturated against buried daylight-basement walls
- Uphill groundwater bearing on the cut face of a slope house
- Cedar and fir needles packing November gutters so a light rain overflows onto the uphill cut
- Wood-frame roof seams that take water and stay wet because the next rain arrives before they dry
