The PNW certain has it's challenges, too open of an environment is quite cool and too closed is high humidity. I currently utilize a rack system in a small room where the ambient temp is higher than the rest of the house.
I find that when I have a snake in a tank with a mesh lid, all I have to do is drape a towel over part of the lid to get the ambient temp that I am looking for. Typically I only needed to do this at night, and not at all in the summer. Play with configurations for a week or so before you get your snake to make sure you have everything set just right.
Good luck!
