SFR Leweston/ Clarkston Seems nice

Sorta fishing-related
Too dang hot there for me. It was about 90 still in early October, opening chukar Saturday was about 90 this year. If you can handle the heat, then I think you'll be fine, but those kinds of summer temps turn me into a worthless pile of do nothing. I've always thought the dry heat qualifier ridiculous. Sure, it isn't the same as a humid, southern heat but 90 to 100+ is still really hot, dry or not. As a young kid I used to go to my dad's in Arizona for the summers. They had to kick us out of the house everyday and I got so many bloody noses from that dry air. Western Washington has its issues, but I love the cooler temps (especially here in PA) and I'm close enough to still go to those areas and recreate without being stuck there all the time.

Yea. Once you get in the 90 range humidity doesn't seem to matter anymore.
 
Sequim the capitol of calm weather year round weather. Less than 20” of rain per year, 300 days of some sunshine, 130 days of full sun, summers 70-82° and winters mild 30-40°. Has a Costco ++. But it is 90+ish minutes away from the Hoh/Forks. It’s a fascinating weather zone…. The rainforest shadow or something like that it is called.
 
I spent most of my life in Point Loma San Diego. Almost never rained, usually 72 degrees. Board shorts and a hoody was typically all the clothing I needed. When I moved up here, on the opposite end of the continent, I had to adjust. Merino wool, puffy jackets, wool hats, Grunden slicks etc... So now I am embracing the challenges of Lewiston weather. Hot weather sucks, but air conditioning and cable TV can make it OK. But the cold, icy, snow is something I want to avoid,,, thus the "Banana Belt" in Lewiston captured my interest.
Thanks again for all the input here folks, I am learning a lot!
 
I spent some years in the 80s and early 90s right up on top in the Palouse while my wife was in grad school and I was framing across the region. As mentioned it can get hot I remember coming down the grade to the flying J in summer for a fun day of framing and the reader board said 86 degrees at like 7am. Also the valley can get some nasty inversions in the winter which trap the pollutants and it can be much colder than up on top. Used to be really good upland bird hunting up on top for pheasant and huns and good chukar hunting in the Snake R. breaks. The rodeo is legit or used to be and the baseball team at LCSC was also super legit and fun to watch. Good luck.
 
Hell, 70 degrees is too hot for chukar hunting. I live in a paper mill town, and have most of my life. The regulations aren’t all bad. They don’t smell bad as often as they used to and they only smell bad these days when something isn’t working right. It’s a costly shutdown to fix it, so it might go on for a few weeks, but they have to fix it.
 
How's the swordfish quality in Lewiston?
