London is warmer than Vancouver, slightly cooler than Seattle. In any case, temperature-wise they're very similar. Precipitation and sunshine-wise rather difference.
Actually the western coastal isles of Scotland freeze about as rarely as the Oregon Coast. And equally lack a summer. Overall Northern Ireland and western Scotland are slightly colder than coastal Oregon and Washington, but not by very much.
Continental climates don't begin until you get to the east side of the Cascades.
But they probably get more days of snow falling. They are closer to the arctic.
And people don't understand but it may get low frost days but it can lots of days below 5c.
Last March I had many days that went -0.5c to 0.5c.
I don't know how our snow days compare because it doesn't give that criteria.
You're nitpicking, these are differences of only a few degrees, it's also the same general annual range. For my perspective living in a different climate type, they're rather similar, certainly nothing like a true continental climate. Why look at just winter? Scotland and northern England are somewhat colder, but that's not all Great Britain, especially by population. I can look up snow days for American locations. Snow days is rather useless statistic IMO, as a hour of snow mixed with rain counts the same as a major snowstrom. It also gives little info about cold. Anyhow, my guess is that the Pacific Northwest locations would record less snow days but more days of air frosts, they're slightly more prone to extreme cold nights.

Actually I was thinking the opposite: before I started reading this forum I never realised how varied British climates here can be, ranging from baking hot and really sunny in parts of the south if only you overemphasise the warm and sunny weather and ignore everything else to full-on polar in parts of Northern Ireland, if only you make stuff up
Just because a city isn't on the immediate coast doesn't mean it doesn't have an oceanic climate. Lots of inland areas of Europe have oceanic climates. Certainly the major cities of the Pacific Northwest do.
