I live in rainy S.W. Washington, too, about an hour north of Portland, OR. Seattle is even worse, but we're similar. A *LOT* of clouds. I'm going to try a lightbox soon, too. I spend a lot of time in the garden puttering around in the summer, and playing outside with my two young sons. I noticed getting depressed this winter for sure. Heck, I'll even take a placebo response! :)

>I don't have a website, sorry. Maybe Google 'Seattle suicide rate' you might get answers..i don't know. I do think the light box will help you, get the GoLITE at Costco if you can, it's one of the best. The cost is $159.00 and the great thing about Costco is that if you try it for a few months and it doesn't help, they'll let you return it for a full refund. Good luck!
