Mike,
About the only time you'll get a really good shot at seeing no rain is July
through September.  May is iffy.   el Nino is really changing things this
year!  We've had a lot of sunny days, lately.  You can rent Miata's from
Hertz and Enterprize in Seattle.  In my opinion, the two best drives we have
are around Mount Ranier and  Highway 20 from Winthrop to Concrete.
Around here, you take your top-down driving as it shows up.  Yesterday was
georgeous, today it's not.  However, it's rare to broil in the Miata, as was
the norm in MGA's and Spiders in Dallas!
