what do you like? I moved here with snowboots but they are too clunky for driving so I need to shop.

Waterproof sneakers. I have Keens that I used as a professional dog walker for last four years. Duck boots and hunters rain boots are common too.

Oboz waterproof. Company is in Bozeman and they know wet, snow, cold. Mine are not too clunky for driving and comfortable for walking and hiking.

This is the season for tall boots! Love them. There are many that aren't so clunky.

I need wide calfs, so I end up buying online.

Around the farm, tall rubber muck boots. For going to town, I like a nice pair of Georgia Boot romeos.

I don't buy really expensive shoes or boots... I'm too hard on them and want to many different kinds... unlike my husband who can wear one shoe with just about anything and keep them for years. But I've been happy with the quality of these, and I don't feel bad actually wearing them outside in the wet. Made by comfortview... you can buy through several different sites. I get alot of things through this site because they actually tell you how wide the calfs are, and you can measure. Mine have lasted a few years now and are not worn out, even if I may have to get a couple of the new styles.

Keens. REI has shoes to fit the various climes of the PNW.
Real wet westerners, go bare paws (Dawgs), or have webbed feet (The Ducks and The Beavers).
Mostly I don't walk in puddles. Walk on the high spots.

Seattle area soil is well drained because of the glacial affect. Amazing how deep it is.
In the MidValley Oregon, the soil is loamy (oregon) clay (Montana's and washington's) from biblical episodes of the Missoula floods. Even to an ~1000ft. I never took the tractor out after a rain. Had to wait at least 6 hours. Rubber boots tend get stuck in the clay. I hate that sucking sound as you leave the boot and stand in socks.

Nikes, walking/cross trainers work for most occassions if you want light weight shoes.

llbean Storm Chasers are good. But for serious hiking Keens (like others already said) are better and more lightweight.
