Where is the best camping along the Washington Coast?

What is the weather like on the coast of Oregon or Washington?

• so, my mom lived in seattle for a few months when she was younger, and she said it was unbelievably lush and green. see..... i don't mind gloom too much, like gray skies, i don't mind that too much... as long as i can see tons of stars sometimes, and as long as the grass is FRESH AND LUSH AND SOOO BEAUTIFULLY GREEN.... so yeah. also, i love 50s-70s for weather-wise. i love storms. i love when it's not sunny all the time because that just makes things dry. i love tons of stars. i love the ocean. the ONLY downside that i can think of for oregon or washington coast, is it is never really warm.. and i enjoy surfing and water activities. but other than this, what is weather like on the coast of oregon and washington? Do you like oregon and washington? Pros/cons?? thanks!

• Answer:

  Sounds like it's a good fit for you. You have to know that by saying, "Oregon or Washington coast," you are covering a large amount of territory with many types of terrain. There is rainforest on the Olympic Penninsula in Washington, where it doesn't get any greener. But, it's a rainforest, not really a coastal resort. You have touristy areas in Oregon, like Seaside and Newport. You have more remote areas on the Southern Oregon coast and Southern Washington coast. In the peak of summer, you'll have temperatures hit the high 70s/low 80s on the coast, but these days are rare. For the most part, you are looking at mid-60s, even when it's warm inland. As for stars, you'll probably have more cloud cover than not, but there are still clear nights at times. The coast does stay pretty cloudy, whereas inland the clouds come and go more frequently.
