Umm....last I checked, Seattle was in the NORTHwest.

Fescue is not a southwest or northwest grass. It is the prominent grass in the British Isles and I have played a course in Northern Maine that was planted completely in red fescue. It's actually a great grass for golf. In fact, I believe Jack Nicklaus said it was the most perfect grass for a golf course. Some people have a problem with it because it's not green. Americans are used to seeing very green, overly lush golf courses. We are especially spoiled by seeing the golf courses on television which are mainly bent grass and brought to the peak of perfection for the week of the tournament.
