Hi Sheila --
As another PNW person -- do you want this coat to be waterproof, very water-resistant, kinda water-shedding or...?
Hooded or no?
And are you an umbrella person or no?
I ask because IME a lot of the cute colored trenches are cotton or something along those lines and they just sop up spring rains. And they rarely have hoods.
I do have a potential rec, but be warned it looks a bit dressier in the stock photos than it is IMO....
Cole Haan packable raincoats are somewhat water-resistant (better for light rain than downpowers) and come out every year in a bunch of colors. [Which means you can find them on sale or clearance a lot, too!] It's not a super-breathable fabric IYKWIM about technical fabrics vs non-tech ones.
My version is the Signature Back Bow -- in pale pink -- bought for spring use + travel to sunnier climates. I really wanted something that wouldn't look out of place with bare legs (or at least toes haha). The pockets are GREAT; very secure. Zip-off hood, packable = scrunches down if you want to throw it in a bag while you're out and about + weighs almost nothing.
I wear for work, over skirts, etc.
Anyway, just a thought. Here's mine in action during while traveling in May on a day that was surprisingly cold and wet for an area that hit 80 a few days later.
