King County has a comprehensive resource page on rain barrels:
Contrary to popular believe, Seattle summers are pretty dry.
If you have a barrel, please send photos and I will post them here. I'm curious to see how others are incorporating them into their gardens. (We don't have one yet).
We have one by one veggie garden - I'll send pictures later today.
We recycled it from a friend and one drawback is it didnt have a lid (mosquitoes go crazy if you don't have a lid) so we use an old plant saucer.
It also needs to be raised off the ground to get the best gravity assist (and help with not bending over so much).

Can't wait to share the photo/s (and hopefully see it in-person soon!)
