What drying runs into in Shoreline

Local housing stock
76.1 percent of Shoreline's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1969, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. The median house dates to 1969 and three quarters predate 1990, frame split-entry houses with the lower level partly below grade, so a wet-season loss meets a half-buried wall on one side and a framed wall above grade on the other.
Climate & seasonal risk
November brings 6.26 of the 39.98 inches Shoreline sees in a normal year, and August averages 67.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at SHERIDAN BEACH 3.7 S 5 miles away and temperatures at SEATTLE SAND PT WSFO 6.4 miles away. November is the wettest month at 6.26 inches out of 39.98 for the year, with July highs near 77 degrees and no freezing month, so the wet season is long and cool and even midsummer offers only modest drying help.
How water losses tend to end in Shoreline
- Split-entry lower levels half below grade, so one wall behaves like a basement and the other does not
- A long cool wet season with no stretch of genuinely dry outdoor air
- Crawl spaces under the upper level staying damp while the lower level is worked
