You should have no problem growing them there. I live in Florida but taught some friends in Portland, Oregon to grow some at their place. Just cut of the top with about an inch of fruit on it. Dry out for a day and plant in fresh soil. It can either be indoor or outdoors but I warn you they get big after about 6-8 months and spiky. It does take about a year & 1/2 to grow but SO worth it. And can use the same plant several times after that. Hope all this makes sense. I look up some websites with some more detail for growing pineapples for you and get back to you on that. But I do think they are the hardest and easiest plant to grow...
