Seattle is probable a bit warmer than Vancouver. So you can pretty much grow any varieties.
Everything is fantastic this year because of the dry hot summer. Other milder years I've found that the black varieties do not taste as good as they do in other places with hot summers.
Indian Stripe is a very good variety for our climate. Early, productive, and tasty. Another bonus, the plants do not get too big.
Jaune Flamme produces really well here too, and beautiful. But they can be bland in some years.
Maglia Rosa can tolerate cold pretty well, and can be started very early as they do not get big, and they are fantastic.
