Lastly, as I see more glimpses of the vegetation of the PNW, it makes it more understandable why so many Russians settle there. It LOOKS more like their former home, with those towering conifers in higher density than deciduous trees. I realize, of course, the communities of Russian transplants are the highest priority but as one who LOVES the vegetation of the Southern Appalachians, I would so strongly miss it, if I lived elsewhere. The flora and fauna of one's homeland has strong ties and pulls for someone like me.
