I grew up in Washington State (17 years), but on the other side of the cascades. It's all about how you drive. You don't need snow tires in Washington. Then I moved to the northeast (been here 8 years) and I still didn't have snow tires for the longest time. I've driven a 1996 Lumina Van, 2000 Honda Civic, 1995 Mazda MX6, 2001 Acura TL, 2006 325ci, and my 2007 328i with no snow tires. I finally got a set of snow tires last year because I was planning to get summer rims and tires.
Just take it easy and you'll be ok. Don't be the jackass that thinks his SUV can handle snow cause it's AWD. I remember this one time this Jeep flew by me and a bend was coming up. I said to myself that dude is gonna flip over driving like that. When I came around the bend he was swerving all over the road. I was surprised he got it under control and didn't flip.
