OK....I have to make a pitch for the "Great Northwest" part of the
country:
Beautiful snow-capped montains,
Not this year. It was sunny all winter, so we have no snow left.
scenery,
There's scenery everywhere. Ours just happens to be here.
islands,
Yup, can't dispute that.
the Pugent Sound,
Heh...well, at least you didn't write "Pungent". (Yes, I saw your
correction...so what?
)
clean air,
Haven't been here in a couple of decades, huh? Well, I'll grant the air is
usually pretty clean right after it rains. Used to be that was almost every
day, except in the summer. Now, I'm starting to wonder.
the only legal place to land on the beach at the Pacific Ocean (Copalis),
Hmmm...I believe what you mean is "the only official on-beach runway". I
would be surprised if there were not a single other beach on the US West
Coast (never mind the entire Pacific Ocean!) where one is permitted to land
an airplane. There sure are plenty of beaches where you can drive pickups
everywhere.
On a more serious note, there are many airports all along the US West Coast
where there are paved airports less than a five minute walk from the beach,
and even more within 15 minutes.
Mt. St. Helen's volcano (active every day),
I suppose that depends on what you mean by "active". Technically, Rainier,
Baker, Hood, Adams, and other mountains in the area are also "active". St.
Helen's doesn't have flowing lava or constant eruptions or anything like
that. For me, the only active volcano in the US is in Hawaii.
But sure, if you're happy with a few wisps of steam, a bulging lava dome,
and the occasional geyser, St. Helens will do just fine, thank you very
much.
right next to Canada (Vancouver and Victoria are wonderful cities),
Yes, they are. How about suggesting folks go visit THEM instead.
lots of touristy stuff to do in Seattle,
"Lots"? No specifics? You ought to at least mention the Underground Tour.

and finally...a really good-humored guy who can rent planes at cheap
prices (club member) who is intelligent, urbane, witty, handsome, knows
all the girls, etc.
Oh...I see. Your post was a JOKE! I know it must be, 'cause there aren't
any people like that around here.
(Call me and I'll see if he is free to come along.)
Yeah, you do that.
