Yes, localized rain does impact peak king tides. Puget Sound is fed by one inlet, the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The volume of water entering and exiting during tidal cycles is massive. If rainwater and its associated runoff is fed into the Sound at the same time as an incoming tide, the effect is amplified. Runoff simply cannot push against the sheer volume of water coming into the region.
