I have some property out here in western WA, good climate for hopps. Any recomendations on types i might consider?
A bit off topic, but where in Da UP? I went to MTU, so I'm familiar with the weather and region where you're at.

In the south central UP, on the border of WI. It's called the "banana belt" because we don't get quite as much snow as Houghton!
Dang... I see you played hockey too. I bet we've crossed paths. I grew up in Marinette on the boarder of the UP, and played a lot of ice hockey. Are you near Iron Mountain?
Houghton gets snow like you've never seen before. When I first moved to CO it was during the worst snow storm in the state's history. Our neighbors asked if we were going to be OK. I showed them a picture of the snow stick in the Keweenaw.... they realized this is balmy compared to what I've seen.
So now that I know your weather, what are the hop varieties you've had success with, and those that you haven't?
