If you touch water it feels wet.
If water touches something it makes it wet.
If you don't touch it, or it touches nothing it's not wet.
The variable therefore is the touch.
So water can be thought of as wet, not wet, or both.

I fact checked this in a dream I had about Schrödinger Cat. |

"If I can make you wet without touching you what does that make me  
But. Am I wet? Or are my knickers wet
I’d have to touch you to see  "
I think that’s the only way to find the answer to this.  |

"Some will be, some won't be.
Depends on many variables including atmosphere, temperature
At the end of the day... no one size evaporated ice cube rain fits all flasks "

2 part answer
My immature response - “no but your mom was when I left last night”
My scientific response - “”wet” is a state where molecules can stick to that thing in question - i say molecules and not water molecules because other liquids can make things “wet”. Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms, oxygen in the water molecule pulls on the two hydrogen electrons, causing a covalent bond to be polar and hydrogen bonds to have a slight negative charge. This gives water the characteristic of adhesion - able to stick to things and make them “wet”. This being said other liquids have this characteristic and if mixed with water then water can become “wet”. But does this mean water makes itself “wet?” Who knows  ”

There and to the left a bit |
"I guess the state of wetness is making solid thing wet and water isn't a solid thing, it therefore, cannot be wet. My head hurts...  "
But ice is water and is solid - therefore if a liquid were to be poured onto the ice (which is water) it could legitimately be described as being wet - therefore water *can* be wet |
