Washington is the best state in the union imo.
You have the Pacific oceon and Puget sound, large inland lakes, cascade and Olympic mountains, rain forests, high desert, more rivers than you can imagine, basically every type of geography available.
Weather, well at SeaTac airport they get as little as 36 inches a year, Sequim=11inches as opposed to my AO that gets 156 inches a year, there are micro-climates as small as half mile across where it always rains or is foggy or windy but around the sound there is often holes in the sky and a little sun shines through, because of the convergent zone caused by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges being separated by Puget sound weather in very unpredictable with the exception of rain, count on it raining and you will be correct most the time.
Light Aircraft doesnt get used much because of the weather and mountains, try and fly under the weather here and you hit a mountain.
Boats are a good idea here, at one time seattle had the highest per capita ownership but think wetsuit not swimsuit, never warm enough to swim here without arctic dry suit, imbo
Lots of hang gliding as there is lots of mountains, the only negative thing is the politics the kommiefornians joined forces with extremist liberal demoncrats in seattle and the one county "King" rules all the others, so bad the rest of the state is trying to break off and form a new one.
Make sure you have sunglasses, when the sun does shine it reflects off of wet roads blinding drivers.
