Monkey trees as they are most commonly called are really named Monkey Puzzles or their latin genus Araucaria araucana. These trees are not native to areas like washington state, they were planted in the norther hemisphere as an ornamental tree. I'm from seattle and also grew up with a monkey puzzle in my back yard, they are very cool.
