The rainiest PLACES in the continental U.S. are--by far--in the Pacific Northwest. The rainiest spot is the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic Peninsula, with 170 inches per year (that's 14 FEET of rainfall!) There are dozens of small towns and villages along the Washington and Oregon coast that exceed 100" of rainfall per year, led by Aberdeen Reservoir, WA, with 130.6" per year, Laurel Mountain, OR, 122.3 and Forks, WA, 119.7" per year. The user below mistakenly named the rainiest CITIES in the U.S., not the rainiest PLACES.
However, the rainiest place in the continental U.S. is Forks, Washington. I bet you are a Twilight fan? Me too.

From QuileuteWolves96: Actually the rainiest inhabited place in the U.S is the Olympic peninsula... either Forks or Quillayute. The rainiest place in all of the U.S. is Mount Waialeale.
Olympic peninsula is only correct if you're counting the number of days it rains (it comes in at 63). If you're asking for the rainiest (as in, Most Rain) the Olympic Pen doesn't even crack the top 10. It's number 24! Here's the real list:
- Mobile, Alabama--67 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days
- Pensacola, Florida--65 inches average annual rainfall; 56 average annual rainy days
- New Orleans, Louisiana--64 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days
- West Palm Beach, Florida--63 inches average annual rainfall; 58 average annual rainy days
- Lafayette, Louisiana--62 inches average annual rainfall; 55 average annual rainy days
