Tried pressure-treated vs cedar for a raised bed in Seattle and cedar won by a mile

I built two 4x8 raised beds last spring, one with pressure-treated pine and one with cedar from a place out in Kent. The pressure-treated one started warping after just 6 months, while the cedar still looks almost new. Has anyone else found cedar holds up way better in wet climates like the Pacific Northwest?

Are we talking about that cedar place or did I just get lucky with mine?

Those cedar beds from the place out in Kent do hold up great, but I did learn the hard way that cheaper box store cedar is often just the outer layer and rots fast here.
