Good luck in wet and lefty Seattle, the dark side as we call it on the otherside of the Cascades. Might I recommend Sequim on the Penisula for a more pleasant experience. They call it the banana belt compared to the I5 corridor.

This area of the PNW has many interesting places that are quite diverse (sound front/view, mountain living, lake front/view, farmish style living north of Kirkland) I hope you find your perfect spot!
