I’ll double up on this comment. No, nothing is LIKE the PNW. But some things have their own beauty that’s different. I find Colorado to be drier and more intense in its own way. The population centers are right against the big ranges, creating a wild culture of outdoorsy people in big cities.

The NE is softer. Smaller mountains, less stunning views from a photographic sense, but there’s a gentleness to the landscape that can be just breath taking if you give it time. Wander the woods of VT/NH/Maine and you’ll see what I mean.

The quake might happen, and being gone is good then.
