The main reason I believe the aluminum is more common in the PNW is the amount of fantastic river fishing in what can be some very shallow rocky areas. The most serious fisherman and guides all use jet sleds here and fish both the ocean and the rivers. The Sleds are not the best plan for the ocean but they will work. A glass boat is a frigging nighmare in a river though and will be ruined in short order! The Lady fishing Guide I frequently work with here has a 24' alumiweld sled and we have fished it a whole lot in the ocean and countless days in the rivers. You will find that it's the kind of boat to have after living here and seeing what all the big dogs are using. The Rivers are where the action is at for the majority of great fishing, and that is where the Aluminum shines from what I have seen.
