Is PNW snow really that bad?

I may have the option to take a job near Tacoma WA, and I want to know if the snow quality in the PNW is really that bad. Is it really "Sierra Cement" or is that something just said by snow connoisseurs in the Rockies? I live in the Midwest now and powder is few and far between, but when we do have it, I feel like it is pretty light. Can I get a non biased opinion on how it really is?

No, you cannot get a non-biased opinion. Folks in the Rockies have a big PR engine to try to generate tourism. Everyone is from somewhere. The only non-biased thing I can say about Washington is that they get the most snow, way more than Colorado.

I've skied all over the u.s. of A and there's good snow everywhere. A good snow filled day in the pnw is a blast in my opinion. And not just the snow most peoples mentality is very down to earth and wanna have fun and do things outside (MOST PEOPLE not all).

Well... Yes it's bad compared to Utah Wyoming and Colo, but it can be sick. There is usually a couple storms a year where you will get some snow that gets close to those states. They constantly get dry pow though.
