If you absolutely must live in the PNW and cannot commute, you might as well stay in your current job, make a better wage, get more T-PIC, and network your butt off. I really don't see 121 t-prop SIC time being the key that finally unlocks the doors to the majors for you. Heck, who exactly is hiring right now that you're so sure you're unqualified with your current turbine PIC??
What's wrong with staying in the PNW if that's where you want to live? so many pilots sell themselves out just to "Fly a Jet" and wear a pilot cap. A handful of people understand a lifestyle is what you want to pursue, not metal. Those people are the happiest, generally.
