I'm north of the border (BC), where climate is practically the same as in coastal WA. Cars tend to live longer there than in North-East due to winter temperatures above freezing point and lack of ice-removal salt on highways. Regarding plans to live within 1-2 days within some good waters - either I've got it wrong, or the size of WA is much larger than I think it is :-). I would rather speak of 1-2 *hours* within some good waters. Some comments based on living near mountains - the closer to them, the more percipitation. Mere half-a dozen of miles from Rockies makes a difference. Clouds stop near mountain crest or summit and piss since they can't go farther. At least, within 20-30 miles from the ocean it works like that.
