Which zone?

After some CA friends moved to Oregon and Washington (west of Cascades), about 2-3 yrs in, I asked about the weather and if it is like they expected.
The most common sort of answer is along these lines:
"A lot more forest fire smoke than we thought there would be, hotter in summer too. And the rain isn't so bad, it is the gray skies that suck."
Growing up, forest fires weren't really much of a thing in Western Oregon. They've really come on strong in last 20 yrs, also small town water systems haven't kept up with demand.
