Use an Umbrella in the Pacific Northwest
The Pacific Northwest region of the United States, including major cities like Seattle and Portland, is well known for its rainy climate.
However, you might want to avoid packing an umbrella if you’re traveling there. You’ll immediately be outed as a tourist.
According to a native Portlander on Quora, “If you see someone walking down the street with an umbrella, that’s a dead giveaway. They aren’t locals. Locals just wear a light rain jacket and are on their way. No local will cancel plans because it’s raining outside or wait for the rain to let up. If someone walks out with an umbrella they will stand out like a beacon.”
