What sub region would I live in?

If I could chose one region to live in I would pick the western lowlands, because it gets a lot of rain fall every year and gets a lot of vegetation, because of how much rain they get each year. They also have rivers and streams nearby that flow from the Cascades and the Olympia Mountains. There is a lot of shipping there and excellent ports. These rivers are fed by heavy rain and snow. Then they flood and deposit fertile silt on the floodplains. They have mild temperatures through out the year. Summers near the Pacific Ocean are comfortable, because of the mild temperature and frequent rain. Winters may be mild but very wet. The winters are also not extreme or below zero for long periods of time. The vegetation there is made up of conifer and deciduous forest. That is why I want to live in the western lowlands.
