No place has ZERO humidity. With the great advent of the internet and weather sites all over the place, you should at least post something CLOSE to the truth. I just picked three spots at random in the area you are claiming to have no humidity, the lowest is 69% in Coos Bay, OR. Then I picked the town that is close to me - 60%. A quick view of some cities and towns on the Eastern Seaboard looks like they are a little higher, but not a giant amount. A lot of the people in the East HAVE been to the West Coast, probably a larger percentage than the other way around (but that is just based on personal contacts and not on any scientific study).
I have found that Southern California actually has the lower humidity in my travels, which would hold true for this evening as well with LA, checking in on the Weather Channel at 85 degrees and 29% humidity. if you go inland much you DO get humidity numbers in the teens and 20's, BUT you also don't get the cooling effect of the ocean and the temps climb 30 or 40 degrees over what they are right on the coast. What most people are saying is that they don't like the heat, well 100+ even if it is a dry heat is still darn hot, and feels hotter than mid 70's low 80's and 75 - 85% humidity.
Dew points make a big difference. The humidity back east is uncomfortable. The air feels dry in the Northwest. In the summer anyway...
That said, Oregon and Washington have the best summers. Not too hot. No perceptible humidity. Constant sunshine. Lush and beautiful scenery.
