Winter is upon us in the Pacific Northwest and I really am looking for a puffer jackets but I am not confident any of the hoods will be big enough to go over my type 4b/c hair, especially in a bun as wearing it out not ideal during rainy weather

I have been looking at the Quince responsible down puffer but I highly doubt the hood will be big enough. I would need something that is mostly down, preferably goose or duck. Any recommendations would be helpful, thanks!

PNW naturals, if you have any more tips and tricks please let me know! Going on my 5th year living out here and the rainy season has always been a pain.

Okay I don’t know if Idaho is technically part of the PNW but if anyone here is familiar with New Jersey, you would know that state smells like shit every time you drive through it. I’m from NY and I’m moving to WA and currently driving through Idaho. My husband says to me “this state smells like the Bronx zoo” which means it smells like shit. So I laughed and my husband said “is Idaho the New Jersey of this part of the country” and honestly I need to know if anyone else can relate to this comparison

Recently got this Travel Trailer and was able to stay at two National Park Campgrounds before they closed for the season(Mt Ranier and North Cascades Hwy). Now that most campgrounds are closed due to winter, Im trying to find a Thanksgiving destination for a 3-4 night trip. Open to WA/OR Coast ideas for Nature/hiking type trip as well small towns like Walla Walla for drinking wine and relaxing. Even considering Vancouver BC but it will be the first time crossing the border with a TT. I prefer to stay in the west side of the Cascades to avoid any possible winter conditions on the passes. I also have two kids(2.5yr and 7mo).

As winter quickly approaches where are you skiing this year and favorite run……

Me and u/allmightyscrub ‘s first date

Hi everyone! I usually spend my summers in the PNW, alternating between Salem, OR and Tacoma, WA. But I’ll be coming at the end November -beginning of December this year and I was wondering what there is to do (even with all the rain and clouds)😅 I honestly don’t mind the weather, but I do know a lot of the parks and trails will likely be closed off or restricted by then! What are your favorite hikes, trails, and just beautiful view points to visit during that time? Also driving a far distance honestly isn’t a problem for me!

i love oly but feel like i wanna live somewhere small enough where i know my neighbors and feel more of a sense of community

but all the towns i’ve checked out are very .. run down and sort of intense

Hi, I’m looking for fun winter vacation spots in driving distance of Boise, Idaho. Can’t afford to fly so that’s out of the question, but both trains and driving work. Only thing is that my mom gets crazy driving anxiety and won’t go over any passes or sketchy roads in the snow. My family ranges from 6 - 18 y.o.s plus my parents, so preferably lots of fun family activities!! Thank you in advance
