I live on the Olympic Peninsula and the two predominant native trees here in my town are Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), which isn't a true cedar (those only occur in Asia), and Douglas Fir, which is not only not a fir (Abies), but not really much like the (false) hemlock its genus name (Pseudotsuga) implies. We also have a lot of Red Alder (Alnus rubra), black cottonwood (Populus balsaminifera), and my favorite, which is all around the woods around my house, the wild Pacific Rhododrendon, R. macrophyllum.

Hundreds of species really, none of which would be found elsewhere, but closely related to plants in the Pacific islands, South East Asia and South America.. mostly tropical in appearance.

You can grow mangroves!!! are you sure? I Thought they couldn't grow more than 30 degrees away from the equator.

Yep, the world's most southerly mangrove is common here to 38"S, and is found in isolated pockets down to 41"S. I think the limiting factor, is when sea temperatures get below 15C/59F in winter.
Regarded as a weed for a long time, it's now been recognized as a key part of a major ecosystem.

but how? auckland doesn't even have a warm summer to offset it's cool winters.

Warm and cool are relative terms, that mean nothing to a plant.
