I LOL'd. I haven't been back in a few years, but I remember the Seattle
Rain Festival, January 1- December 31, Puget Sound Octopus Wrestling, and
looking to "see if the mountain is out." ;)

Yup. :-)

I'm near Vancouver BC. Most of the Seattle comments apply to us too.

I don't know what people have against socks and sandals. We need to air our
feet out a bit without chilling them !

[Granby]

Socks and sandals are frowned on where I live. This is mainly because at the
rest area where I work, the tour buses go through. Nothing attractive about
a 60+ guy wearing black knee length socks, sandals and shorts. At least
that is what the ladies who work there say. I never get close enough to
these people to check that out.

This is so true. The first time I ever visited Seattle, back in 1973,
my friend and I were both astonished to see people standing politely
at a corner, waiting for the "walk" light. Remember, I'm from Boston.
Nobody obeys traffic rules there, least of all pedestrians. So it looked
pretty weird to us.

Well, sheesh. Can't everyone?

It depends a lot on the socks. And lets face it, most anyone who would wear
socks with sandals isn't all that particular about how the socks look.

Including myself here. I really hate to wear any shoe but a Birk, and
sometimes it just gets cold. Once in a while I forget and leave the house
with Birks and socks.

LOL, my thoughts exactly!

Actually, I don't wear sandals with socks because it feels like my
feet aren't secure in them - they tend to slip around. I guess Birks
would be different, I think they have more friction inside them,
don't they? I've never worn them so I'm not sure. But in any case,
it's not a fashion decision!
