I'm from Seattle, been here 19 years now. I put in several raised beds, plant in late September when I get back from Seattle and have a nice garden. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, snow peas, peas, garlic, leeks, scallions, herbs every year. Hydroponic lettuce works too.
There are rabbits here who will eat your garden if you don't do raised beds. Summers here are too hot and besides that's when I'm back home so planting in late Sept works great. The few freezing days we get just cover the raised beds and you'll be fine. My herbs have been producing for years. When we moved here we were only the second couple from Washington State, so many more of us now. Welcome, you'll love it here. Happy growing.
One more thing, join one of the gardening clubs here, they'll help you and you'll learn a lot.
