I was born in Seattle, raised on a farm in Enumclaw and now live on an acre in Olympia. I have to agree whole heartedly with all of the previous comments. It doesn't get better than the Northwest. I have traveled alot and nothing quite compares.

I must say that I do prefer the Oregon Coast to the Washington Coast. It is more rugged, as you saw in the Cannon Beach area. Unfortunately in WA they allow motorized vehicles on the beach, blech! Talk about ruining the ambiance!

The Willamete Valley in OR boasts numerous wholesale and retail nurseries. The dirt in that valley is amazing! ByndeweedBeth you are so lucky to have that great dirt! Oregon also has amazing covered bridges. Last month my folks and I spent a few days kicking around the Willamette Valley and visited my favorite nursery, Fergusons Fragrant Nursery in St. Paul. We also went to the Oregon Garden in Silverton. I took over 200 pictures, thank goodness I have a digital camera!

Kwanjin I'm sure that you and your hubby will both love the NW, I sure do!

I have attached a picture of the Hannah Bridge in Scio, OR it has a great swimming hole under it! Rachel
