No, do go. See the Oregon coast. Spend a week in Bandon during storm season. Get an oceanfront room in one of the inns there & enjoy the 70-mile-per-hour storms as they roar in from the Pacific. Bandon is famed for its storm season.
I want to go to the Olympia peninsula in Washington. I also want to go to Alaska.

I used to spend Summers in the Queets River rain forest http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pac...130/cover.html on the Olympic Peninsula. I wnet back for the first time in over 20 years, back in '97, and I was horrified to see how the land around the highways leading to the park are stripped of trees. The park itself, though, still looks just like I remember it: ferns, clear water, moist forest paths, and trees covered with lichen and moss. It is a paradise.
The Hoh rainforest is also amazing, and Second Beach is a wild beautiful beach - not sure if you can camp there.
