<p>i have lived in california all my life and im looking at wsu, but i am very hesitant to apply because of the weather. is it truly raining and gray most of the time? im used to warm california weather and i wanted an opinion from someone who goes there or has lived in washington.
this is somewhat important in my decision making</p>
<p>also is there a good college town at wsu?</p>
<p>To answer your first question: No. it actually snows quite a bit too. 
As for your second: Pullman is a great college town.
We too are from CA and my D was not used to cold weather either. It is amazing how you can adapt though and turn it into a great experience.</p>
