If someone from Everett WA can make down work, I'll listen to him! (I lived in Issaquah for a few years.)
One caveat on drying clothes in the down bag...you have to aware of the RH of the outside air. If it's 100%, ain't nothin' going to dry and you might be left with a real mess. In dry air, though, it works like a charm.
One has to limit the amount of clothing to be dried by both temperature and humidity. It will depend on the person, bag, tent, etc. One has to experiment. I've always been able to dry at least socks and an undershirt, though.
