Well in the almost 63 years that I've lived here (born in Seattle) we have "sweated bullets" through about five or six summers in Seattle. Most of it's water comes from the Tolt reservoir which gets it's water from the west side of the Cascade mountains east of Seattle. (mostly rainfall but also snow melt)

On the island I grew up on in Puget Sound all of it's water is pumped from wells. No snow melt there!

The island is made up totally from sand and gravel left from the last Ice age when Puget Sound was formed roughly 11,000 years ago.
