A friend and I are looking to backpack (around Tacoma, WA) in a couple weeks and would like recommendations from people who may be familiar with the area and weather.
A big reason I ask here is we are unfamiliar with weather conditions this time of the year. We both enjoy moderate - harder hikes, but would like to mostly avoid snow and colder sleeping conditions (since we plan on camping).
We will be in Tacoma and hope to not travel more than 3 hours away.
