Been working summers up here last couple years. Highs never quite hit 70. 50s pretty frequent, sudden to 40s or high 30s at night. Though I rarely see that because the sun is still up when I tend to go to sleep. So blackout curtains are a must. Rains a lot. A lot of fishing and hunting, charter boats, cruises, excursions. All expensive if you're not doing it yourself, which without experience your can't or shouldn't. Need to keep a lookout for moose while outside. I'm in a small tourist town, locals range from hippies to chuds, tourists suck but where I make my money. Lots of cars have a plug sticking out the grill to hookup a heater in winter. I can't imagine doing winter here. Incredibly beautiful, huge mountains next to ocean, vast wilderness and wildlife, but I don't much care for the culture here, I don't think I'll be back but to visit in the future. Oh, and mosquitos. I'm lucky where I am but they are a plague elsewhere. I just get hit with dead fish smells all the time. Older buildings (rare to see things more than 50 years old) are charming wood structures. New ones surprisingly boxy and seem like they'd accumulate so much snow. A lot of Trump flags.
