I had a tulip tree in Oregon, had our own private arboretum actually. There are some tulip trees here in Eastern WA, but young still so I do not know how they will do. There is an arboretum here but a rather sad imitation compared to what is on the good side of the cascades. there are some young Giant sequoia here too, not sure how long they will last either.
Tulip trees are great for taller houses, you can get a good view of the blooms from upstairs!
