Not much I miss from down there except my kids, grandkids and good Mexican food. We get down there a few times per year......don't miss the traffic or the number of people at all.

The kids must like visiting the Evergreen State?
Mom absolutely loves spending time in Washington and people are really got out of their way to be nice to her...
I've tried to get her to move but with all the grandkids in the SF Bay Area it will never happen.
My nephew and nieces have never visited... they go to Hawaii, Europe, Tahoe and Cambria... but Washington is too far...

I've got all three in Oakland... lost about 60% during the drought... they had been doing real well and wanted to put in my own grove down at the Creek for posterity....
The Dawn loses all of it's needles... it does make for an interesting tree... most of the ones I planted are Aptos Blue.

Sequoias do real well in the Puget Sound Area. I have a large one; 100' tall, 30" diameter base, plus several other various sizes. I just planted two about 4' tall I bought at a nursery. They are beautiful Christmas trees as they grow very symmetrical with a lot of infill branches. No pruning or shearing required.

Speaking of Christmas...
As some might know my brother bought an old Christmas Tree farm and they sell cut and U-Cut trees.
Year before last he planted some redwoods near the house... way off the beaten path for the U-Cut trees.
The U-Cut are one price as they are cleaning up the old stuff... anyway, this couple comes up to the booth to pay their money and it is a redwood they cut down... and since there are no redwoods except what he recently planted you guessed it... they chopped down one of those...
