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

I would re-ask on the Cascadia List.

But, I believe most people head south in August from Puget Sound, but target
October as the last month to head south without storms.

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
