Jefferson's not very coastal.
Jefferson sent a couple guys this way in 1804, they returned in 1806.

Situated in the far northeastern corner of Linn County about 60 miles (97 km) east of Corvallis, Jefferson is in a rugged wilderness and is thus one of the hardest volcanoes to reach in the Cascades though USFS road 1044 does come within 4 miles (6.4 km) of the summit. Many people consider Jefferson's craggy, deeply glacially scarred appearance to be especially beautiful and photogenic. The peak has therefore frequently served as a backdrop for automobile and alcohol advertisements in the United States.

The number of great trout lakes up there is mind boggling. I've been to the end of that USFS road, it's more rumor than actual road.
