Well, to oversimplify dramatically, one side of the state has pretty mild winters but lots of gray. The other side has lots of sun in the summer but much colder winters with plenty of snow.

Yes, but if you go west of puget sound and out to the Olympic peninsula, you get the temperate climate without the Urban/suburban crush of the greater Seattle Metro area. There's a town called Sequim that is in a "rain shadow".... https://www.olympicrainshadow.com/olympicrainshadowmap.html So you get the benefit of more sun with the moderate winters also.

Or if you're super rich and have a boat, the south San Juan Islands, haha.
