Has anyone been to Washington state or live there?

I'm moving to washington state in a 8 months or a year. I'm all the way in Florida so it's a huge change. I mean it's not like it's a different country but still over 3,000 Miles. Longest I've gone. I won't be near any family even though I havent seen them in years even though they live an hour away from me.
I just want to get excited for this move but I'm scared...
