Pat, I guess we all have limitations on what we can grow and what will perform at its best depending on were we live. You are correct about Washington State having varied growing conditions, short distances from each other. I am in Central Washington, the arid part, but thanks to the Columbia river, water is not a problem here. We are a semi-desert and like a lot of deserts, we do get many cool summer nights (50's -60's) not uncommon. Thank you again for sharing all of the above info.
