Good choice

Lots of trees, gray skies, very moderate weather, and HORRIBLE traffic (the only downside, IMO ). I don't think I could ever permanently live anywhere other than Washington, it's without a doubt the most gorgeous state I've ever been to. If you're an outdoorsy person like myself, Western Washington is paradise

I've referred this site to friends visiting from out of town, it's pretty good:
