Cazadero, California’s Second-Wettest Spot
by Annie Mills — published April 01, 2007
We enjoyed Michael Ellis's "Ask the Naturalist" column in the January-March 2007 issue, about Bay Area precipitation patterns. We have a cabin in Cazadero (Sonoma County), known as the second-wettest place in California. (What's the first?) Those same storms that gave Kentfield 48 inches of rain last year dropped more than 106 inches on Cazadero. A tad wet. We have amazing ferns and beautiful creeks.

You're right, Cazadero averages 80 to 85 inches annually. The town of Gasquet (Del Norte County) is reputed to be the rainiest place in California at 90 inches a year.
