Here On The Coast: Reflections From The Rainbelt
Living on the coast can be a magical experience. The fresh ocean breeze, the sound of crashing waves, and the stunning views can create a sense of peace and tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere. But there is another side to coastal living that often goes unnoticed - the rain. In the Pacific Northwest, also known as the Rainbelt, rain is a constant companion, shaping the landscape and the lives of those who call it home.
On a typical rainy day here on the coast, the sky is a symphony of grays. The clouds seem to stretch for miles, reaching out to touch the water. The rain falls gently, like a mist, creating a hazy atmosphere. It's easy to understand why this region is known for its lush greenery and breathtaking natural beauty. The constant rainfall nourishes the forests and allows a diverse range of plants and animals to thrive.

One of the most captivating aspects of living in the Rainbelt is witnessing the changing seasons. While other parts of the country may experience subtle shifts in temperature, here the seasons are marked by distinct changes in rainfall. Spring, with its gentle showers, brings new life to the region. Flowers bloom and the scent of damp earth fills the air. Summer is a time of long, drizzling days, perfect for exploring the coastline and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. Fall is a time of heavy rainstorms, as the trees shed their leaves and prepare for the coming winter. And winter, well, it's hard to describe the sheer power of a Pacific Northwest winter storm. The rain becomes torrential, the wind howls, and the waves crash against the shore with an intensity that is both awe-inspiring and a little bit terrifying.
But it's not just the weather that makes living in the Rainbelt unique. The rain has a way of shaping the culture and lifestyle of the people who call this region home. For one, rain gear becomes a part of everyday life. Umbrellas, rain boots, and waterproof jackets are essential items for navigating the wet streets. But beyond that, the rain encourages a slower pace of life. When it's pouring outside, there's no rush to be anywhere. Instead, you can take the time to curl up with a good book, indulge in a hot cup of tea, or simply watch the raindrops dance on your windowpane.
Another aspect of living in the Rainbelt is the close connection to nature. With such an abundance of rain, it's no surprise that the region is home to some of the most incredible forests and wildlife in the world. Hiking through the rain-drenched forests feels like stepping into a fairytale. The trees are cloaked in moss, and the ground is carpeted with ferns and wildflowers. It's a place where the line between reality and myth blurs, and it's easy to see why so many artists and writers have found inspiration here.
Living in the Rainbelt also means embracing the beauty of rainfall. While it can be easy to complain about the constant drizzle, there is a certain magic to be found in the rain. The sound of raindrops on the roof can be soothing, and the smell of fresh rain is invigorating. There's a sense of renewal that comes with each rainfall, as if the world is being washed clean.
So, if you find yourself here on the coast, don't let the rain dampen your spirits. Embrace it as a companion, a source of inspiration, and a reminder of the beauty of this unique region. Look out your window and marvel at the misty landscapes and the vibrant greens. Take a walk on the beach and feel the raindrops on your face. And most importantly, let the Rainbelt shape your perspective, teaching you to find joy in the simplest of moments and appreciate the power and beauty of nature.

No matter where people live on the BC coast, says Howard White, they have certain shared experiences: frustration with rain and ferries, familiarity with gumboots, bumbershoots, seagull droppings and barnacles in the wrong places. But each little community clings to its own sense of uniqueness and considers itself the true West Coast. As a case in point, White offers fifty funny sketches of life as he has come to know it in sixty-odd years of living along that hundred-mile stretch of monsoon-prone shoreline ironically known as the Sunshine Coast.
Included is what must be one of the most admiring testaments ever written about the virtues of the old-time outhouse; fond remembrances of saltwater fishing when a bad day meant you didn’t hook something in twenty minutes; and explorers who stooped to naming islands after favourite racehorses. We also meet a “bouquet of characters,” including a lyrical logger known as Pete the Poet; a diabolical seagoing remittance man; the saintly Quaker philosopher Hubert Evans and White’s barrier-busting Aunt Jean who taught him the advantages of “scientifically enlarging the truth.” Along with accounts of waste disposal wars and wry observations on modern technology, Here On the Coast offers a West Coast counterpart to such favourites as Letters From Wingfield Farm and Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.
