You will have serious issues if it does snow and you try to drive on ice or compact snow. They really do have almost zero grip. If you can stay home or use another car for those times you'll be fine. If you don't want to change your tires for winter weather all-season tires will probably work fine in the northwest all year round. I wouldn't want to rely on summer tires if I didn't have other options for getting around in snowy/icy weather.
