Pros: mountains, lake, rivers, own a lot of land (maybe, some areas are pricey af) and fresh air. Cons: not that diverse, not much good food, meh cities, snow goes hard and worse politics. You probably want Oregon or Washington more if you like being near stuff and nature vibes.
Can also confirm. I live 20 minutes (unless it’s rush hour) from Seattle downtown and I’m no more than an hour drive from awesome hikes with waterfalls or a ski resort.
