However, Seattle faced massive unemployment, loss of lumber and construction industries as <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> prevailed as the bigger West Coast city. Seattle had building contracts that rivaled <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>, but lost to LA as well. Seattle's eastern farm land faded due to <a href="/wiki/Oregon" title="Oregon">Oregon</a>'s and the <a href="/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" title="Midwestern United States">Midwest</a>'s, forcing people into town.<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51">&#91;51&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52">&#91;52&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>The famous <i><a href="/wiki/Hooverville" title="Hooverville">Hooverville</a></i> arose during the Depression, leading to Seattle's growing homeless population. Stationed outside Seattle, the Hooverville housed thousands of men but very very few children and no women.

</p><p>A movement by women arose from Seattle during the Depression. Fueled by <a href="/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt" title="Eleanor Roosevelt">Eleanor Roosevelt</a>'s book <i>It's Up to the Women</i>, women pushed for recognition, not just as housewives, but as the backbone to family.

</p><p>Seattle's <a href="/wiki/University_of_Washington" title="University of Washington">University of Washington</a> was greatly affected during the Depression era.

</p><p>Seattle was also the home base of impresario <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Pantages" title="Alexander Pantages">Alexander Pantages</a> who, starting in 1902, opened a number of theaters in the city exhibiting <a href="/wiki/Vaudeville" title="Vaudeville">vaudeville</a> acts and silent movies.

Between Pantages and his rival <a href="/wiki/John_Considine_(Seattle)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Considine (Seattle)">John Considine</a>, Seattle was for a while the western United States' vaudeville mecca. <a href="/wiki/B._Marcus_Priteca" title="B.

This 2012 moderate snow event was officially the 12th snowiest calendar day at the airport since 1948 and snowiest since November 1985.<sup id="cite_ref-NOWData_104-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NOWData-104">&#91;104&#93;</a></sup> Locations to the south of Seattle received more, with Olympia and Chehalis receiving 14 to 18&#160;in (36 to 46&#160;cm).<sup id="cite_ref-NWS_Seattle_PNS_1250_2012-01-18_112-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NWS_Seattle_PNS_1250_2012-01-18-112">&#91;112&#93;</a></sup> Much of the city of Seattle proper received somewhat lesser snowfall accumulations. Another moderate snow event occurred from December 12–25, 2008, when over one foot (30&#160;cm) of snow fell and stuck on much of the roads over those two weeks, when temperatures remained below 32&#160;°F (0&#160;°C), causing widespread difficulties in a city not equipped for clearing snow. In February 2019, Seattle experienced its snowiest month in 50 years (since January 1969), with 20.2 inches of snow, all from February 3–11, with 6.4 inches on Feb. 8 and 6.1 more inches on Feb. 11.<sup id="cite_ref-113" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-113">&#91;113&#93;</a></sup> The largest documented <a href="/wiki/Snow-storm" class="mw-redirect" title="Snow-storm">snowstorm</a> occurred from January 5–9, 1880, with snow drifting to 6 feet (1.8&#160;m) in places at the end of the snow event. From January 31 to February 2, 1916, another heavy snow event occurred with 29&#160;in (74&#160;cm) of snow on the ground by the time the event was over.<sup id="cite_ref-114" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-114">&#91;114&#93;</a></sup> With official records dating to 1948, the largest single-day snowfall is 20.0&#160;in (51&#160;cm) on January 13, 1950.<sup id="cite_ref-Sistek2006b_115-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sistek2006b-115">&#91;115&#93;</a></sup> Seasonal snowfall has ranged from zero in 1991–92 to 67.5&#160;in (171&#160;cm) in 1968–69, with trace amounts having occurred as recently as 2009–10.<sup id="cite_ref-NOWData_104-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NOWData-104">&#91;104&#93;</a></sup> The month of January 1950 was particularly severe, bringing 57.2&#160;in (145&#160;cm) of snow, the most of any month along with the aforementioned record cold.<sup id="cite_ref-NOWData_104-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NOWData-104">&#91;104&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Puget_Sound_Convergence_Zone" title="Puget Sound Convergence Zone">Puget Sound Convergence Zone</a> is an important feature of Seattle's weather. In the convergence zone, air arriving from the north meets air flowing in from the south. Both streams of air originate over the Pacific Ocean; airflow is split by the Olympic Mountains to Seattle's west, then reunited to the east. When the air currents meet, they are forced upward, resulting in <a href="/wiki/Convection" title="Convection">convection</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Sistek2015_116-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sistek2015-116">&#91;116&#93;</a></sup> Thunderstorms caused by this activity are usually weak and can occur north and south of town, but Seattle itself rarely receives more than occasional thunder and small hail showers. The <a href="/wiki/Hanukkah_Eve_Wind_Storm_of_2006" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm of 2006">Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm</a> in December 2006 is an exception that brought heavy rain and winds gusting up to 69&#160;mph (111&#160;km/h), an event that was not caused by the Puget Sound Convergence Zone and was widespread across the Pacific Northwest.
</p><p>One of many exceptions to Seattle's reputation as a damp location occurs in <a href="/wiki/El_Ni%C3%B1o" title="El Niño">El Niño</a> years, when marine weather systems track as far south as California and little precipitation falls in the Puget Sound area.<sup id="cite_ref-117" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-117">&#91;117&#93;</a></sup> Since the region's water comes from mountain snow packs during the dry summer months, El Niño winters can not only produce substandard skiing but can result in water rationing and a shortage of hydroelectric power the following summer.<sup id="cite_ref-118" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-118">&#91;118&#93;</a></sup>
