Contact Approach -- WX reporting

It was handled just like a special VFR, only it was a contact approach. It was on a scud run down I-5 from Seattle. I know, this is an IFR clearance, but you make it sound dificult when all it is is a tower call. PDX tower, Piper 7777Z, 5NW, request contact approach. Bam!...........in there. A class C tower could easily do that. Call up about 6 miles out and if there's no traffic I can issue you a clearance as the tower controllers at class C's are approach controllers. However you still have to meet the normal constraints of an IFR clearance.
