I'm betting that PeterB knows exactly where it is.* Shots from New Zealand are often used to illustrate what the PNW looks like since the two regions are very similar in geography.

What Marin says about the video projection on the cruise ship windows is true. They rarely let you see all the horrible sights. Especially the lead smelters, chemical plants, whaling stations, and seal harvests. The only reason we stay is that we can't afford to leave.
