Average last frost date for Vancouver WA: May 14
Average last frost date for Battleground WA: May 21
Most of my vegetable gardening is in Battleground. One difference - I may be using water walls and row cover to protect from frost. That can pus the date forward a little.
Then from calculator on "The Cheap Vegetable Gardener" - I edited out vegetables I won't be growing and made a few other changes. Super handy calculator. The author has most of the vegetables I want to grow. I used the Battleground last date, May 21.

I think radishes could be earlier. Maybe with peas. The chart is earlier than I've been starting tomatoes.
This year I want to get out the "Wall-o-water" and see if any of them hold water. Then use them for tomatoes, peppers, okra.
