I am new to this site, just kind of checking it out. The closest forum I find for my needs is a Pacific Coast forum which seems to be mainly populated by Californians. Any chance of establishing a Pacific NW forum? I up in northern Washington which is pretty dissimilar to anything in California, except perhaps the very northern part. I'll also post a query in that forum to see if perhaps there are PNWers that are just largely silent at the moment.
