The rain doesn't check your move date
From roughly October to May, assume drizzle on moving day and plan for the driveway to be wet either way. Cardboard soaks through in one porch-to-truck round trip; sealed tote lids shed the weather all afternoon. Your books, bedding, and record collection ride dry, and nothing on the bottom of the stack turns to pulp.
Moving in July instead? You get the other Portland problem: end-of-month summer moves book up fast. Reserve your window early.
