Not too dissimilar to here, and the 'Brookings effect' wind that you talk about sounds very similar to the notorious Northwesterly Fohn wind here in Christchurch. 

Would onshore coastal winds be quite profound there? They can be rather irritating for palm growers around here, consistent onshore wind in Spring/early Summer which can make palms look tatty.

I honestly don't know, but I am getting what we call the East Wind today, which originates from the Columbia River Gorge.  Its shredding everything, we tend to get these in October and it's very irritating.

Brookings is a solid 9B, borderline 10A but I can't imagine anything growing very fast as it is really cool during the summer there on the coast.  All of that area is giant redwood country and cool & moist year round with ferns growing wild all over the place.

Maybe Medford can grow sabals well.

Nothing to say here.

Ceroxylon, Rhopalostylis, Howea, Hedescepe, Parajubaea, and others from cool climates would be awesome to see growing in numbers in that part of Oregon. 

 I've been trying to get seeds for Parajubaea torallyi for some time.  I think they would do great here.

Any palms being grown in coastal Oregon? It is a state that I never hear people talk about palm wise. Anything good growing there?

 

I'm growing about six species of Trachycarpus, various Sabal, various Butia, a bunch of Jubaea, a couple of filifera/fibusta, about 60 young Canary Island date palms, some hybrid Jubaea X Butia, And then Brahea armata.  Off the top of my head.  I recently got some frankenbrahea, and a reverse mule that are doing well too.

    I have noticed here in Oregon mild winters compared to the past and have not seen it dip below 27 in several years in fact it barely snows in my are of Marion county. 

    You will next Thursday and Friday.  FWIW, I remember it getting into the teens on a few occasions.
