Welcome to ATP and the Pacific Northwet!
ATP has a PNW forum. We'd love to hear about your experiences and perspective on how growing here is different.

I hadn't heard of salty fog, but then I live around two miles inland. Will you be RIGHT on the coast?
If you've grown mid-season or late tomatoes in the past, summers here might not be warm enough to ripen the varieties you're used to. Cherry tomatoes are more reliable here. If you want a list of non-cherry varieties said to be cold-tolerant, let me know.
Winter will be unrecognizable to an Indianan! if you're used to using cold frames or hoop tunnels to extend your growing season, you might be able to grow some things year-round here.
Lay in a supply of beer saucers and diatomaceous earth, or slug bait. We have lots of slugs.
If you love roses, you might want to look for varieties that tolerate 8 months of cloudy drizzle.
