Weather Proof Grow Box Outside?

I live in Washington and I'm trying to start a grow outside, but it's basically too late to get started (or so I think, someone tell me if I'm wrong). Is it possible to set up some sort of weather proof grow box outside? I live in a heavily wooded area and could easily find a sheltered place to hide it. Growing indoors is not an option for me. Can someone tell me my grow options other than indoors?

Thanks in advance.

Well, the thing is in the northern hemisphere it will flower right now. You could veg indoor and flower outdoor, but the temps is another problem that I don't feel like researching for you.

first off. Washington is thee S**t. i love it up there. Used to live right out side of Seattle.
2nd that could work for you. Get you some weather stripping for around the door, put it around the rim of the bottom tub. use caulking around all holes. to keep the bugs out. ofcorse your going to have to rig up ventilation. you could make it work man. i know rain up there is a "female dog". if you going through all the trouble. get something bigger than that grow. I know rubbermaid has like a storage bin that is pretty big, kind of a mini shed.

Like this you mean? http://www.rubbermaid.com/rubbermaid/ecommerce/product.jhtml?prodId=HpdProd190060&catId=HpdCat190054

How would I rig the ventilation up without letting bugs and shit get in? I got an idea... Maybe at the vent holes have bug nets? Like the stuff you see on screen doors to prevent bugs from getting in, but lets the air in. How's that sound?

Also, what about the temperatures if I keep it outside? At night I would imagine it would be nice and cool, and as it starts getting into winter I don't really need to worry about over heating, but what about under heating?

Also, I plan on digging a hole outside that would fit the rubbermaid so when I wasn't tending to the plants I put a cover over it and no one would even notice it was there unless they uncovered it. I would probably need to spray something on the outside of the rubbermaid to avoid bugs and other shit. Any suggestions on that?
