We l1ve in NW Washington near Seattle, so we train in the cold and wet. Hopefully we will warmer weather in Europe.
I am from just a few mile north of you and too know the joy of the wet winters! I think you'll find much of the same in Spain, especially Galicia. It is also where I felt the most 'at home' during the Camino. I think you're going to have a great adventure over there!!

I saw on another post here that the Napoleon route will be closed until March 31st as it's too dangerous for the winter months. Some say it is the law and that there are signs posted to say this particular route is closed. Better plan to go the Valcarlos route..
