Is there a place on the East Coast like the PNW?

I have come to love and depend on the PNW climate; mild summers, cold but not brutal winters, plenty of rain, plenty of nature. To a lesser extent, Oregon and Northern Californa also answer my needs. But I've lived on the West Coast all my life, and someday, I think, I might like a change. Is there a place somewhere to the east that is very similar to the PNW?

It would have to be USA as I don't think I have enough "value" to emigrate anywhere. Ocean coast is nice but not vital; lakes or rivers would be fine, but I don't like deserts. Rural as can be! A huge bonus would be if it's a place which has fireflies in the season, as I love fireflies but have never lived around them.

Everything I've heard about the east coast states seems to be either "long hot and muggy summers" and/or "bitterly cold long-lasting winters", neither of which sound appealing. There's gotta be a middle ground?
