I moved to the Washington coast after living in the Deep South for my entire life. I don’t know if it’s the drastic change in climate or what, but I’ve never been sicker. I was almost never sick when I lived in the south, but I’ve had to call into work several times just in the last 6 months. Do any other former southerners, or transplants from other different climates, have this issue?

Saw these beauties while on the Bremerton - Seattle ferry earlier. As a new-ish PNW resident, this made my year.

Hands off

My family and I are coming from the east coast next month to the PNW for our first visit. We are taking a 10 day road trip from Seattle to San Francisco. Stops in Mt. Rainier, Columbia Gorge, Cannon Beach, Fern Canyon. Plus day trips in Seattle, San Fran, & Portland. What can we expect for weather?

Looking for plus size women’s hiking gear suggestions. Brands of pants, tops, jackets, & socks. Already got some waterproof hiking shoes.

Hey guys, my friends and I are all guys in our mid 20s working remotely looking to have a week long gateway somewhere in the PNW sometime within the next month or two. We all have our own lives now since college but we get together about 1-3 times a year. Some ideas we had are renting a house somewhere off of the Oregon coast like off of Cannon Beach or a house off of a lake in WA. Budget isn't an issue.

I grew up in southern California and spent a good amount of time in Arcata and Humboldt county the past year and I loved it there for reference.

Some pluses but definitely not a requirement by any means would be having access to shops or the local town without a car, a young crowd for us to mingle with, and easy access to the trees/ocean.
