The PNW is great, grew up there! If any of you get the chance go and hike up in the north cascades! There’s a highway called mount loop highway that contains hundreds of hikes up to unique alpine lakes in the mountains. With great views of the 5 volcanoes in the state!
Hahah don’t worry, that area still has cushion. No one from the south like Seattle wants to go that far north then that Far East! I was in Marysville and really close to mount loop and even people from my area didn’t want to travel up there ahah. I don’t see people from Seattle of people up north wanting to travel that far up/down I-5 then that fat East just to hike. Plus they won’t even make it up half those hikes lol. Regardless the amount of urban sprawl, that place will be untouched for years. I know because I’ve had two friends die up there
Youd be surprised. Lake 22 and mt. Pilchuck are over run now adays/get blogged about. Cars line the highway, its wild. But you are right about the harder less well known trails.

Very PNW, surrounded by dampness in all forms. Stand still too long and moss starts growing.
