I know the climates of the region pretty well, and looking at the map that looks more like a borderline zone 8/9 area. It's also almost right across from Whidbey Island which I've read reports has notoriously cool low temperatures and can be challenging to garden even regular plants there.
While your observations are valuable, I don't think it's fair to extend those observations to the rest of the region. I get more heat here than where you were.
