I installed the other two airports CA CEN4 and CA CEJ4 in Alberta to fly between but the scenery is about as interesting as England.
I'm surprised that the free airports work OK without the full region - that's a bonus! ORBX say that the demo just covers the Olympic peninsula which should leave Vashon outside but the island certainly looks good in your screenshots and there don't seem to be any problems with blending. Good result.

I agree about the Alberta airfields, while the airports themselves are very nice, the Alberta prairies aren't exactly er, challenging for flying over :lol: I've actually got the FTX Nothern Rocky Mountains scenery which covers that area and if you fly North West from either of those, it's not long before you're in the mountains and can fly up to Banff or Jasper and get into more dramatic scenery. Perhaps that's why they released them :dunno:

If Mrs Christmas does think you've been a good enough boy to deserve the full Pacific North West region, don't forget to uninstall the demo first. It has to be done with an uninstaller which you can download from the same place you got the demo. And also, the upgraded freeware Bowerman doesn't come with PNW, you have to download and install it after the scenery.

And then, instead of an Easter Egg you could start expanding north. Pacific Fjords is the next region which borders seamlessly onto PFJ and takes you up into Alaska and that's when you have to start working overtime to buy the best airports. Ketchikan, Stewart and Bella Coola :-O Perhaps a second mortgage might be a good idea? :lol:
