Default SFBay to Puget Sound, what's the best time of year?

You be going agin the grain! Winds typically from the NW. Going the great
circle probably not a great idea in November either.

I'm going to sail a 60 year old, 48' (LOA) ketch from SFO to Seattle.
I was wondering what the best time of year would be for a trip of this
nature.
One fellow told me that now (Sept.) would be a pretty good time but
Life is going to keep me hear untill Nov. at the least.
I've been trying to search for prevailing wind patterns on the pacific
coast but there doesn't seem to be much info out there (or perhaps
google is just not what I thought it ws).

Anyone made this passage before?

Any suggestions?

Is there a better forum for this question?

thanks,
tom
