I found this: https://www.apartmentguide.com/blog/pros-and-cons-of-living-in-washington/

I’ve lived in eastern Washington state for 3 years. The people are great but you’re going to pay 50 cents a gallon for “carbon tax” on fuel and every thing is expensive. Everything. Save yourself and move to central Texas or east Texas.

We won’t move to Texas for various reasons. I would like to stay in Nevada personally, but my wife likes the climate of Seattle area (she understands living an hour+ outside of the city would be the reality with housing costs).

Didn’t you just move?

Fair enough. Western Washington is even more expensive than where we are so just be prepared. We need simulators for economic regions. Being able to “buy a house or rent, pay bills, employment, go grocery shopping” in a place you want to live would be useful.

We just moved here from IL this past summer. She doesn’t really like it here (she grew up here) and wants to move again for a more permanent move.

Thats what i thought… Well that’s ruff moving is never fun…

The way to go in western washington is to live on the opposite side of the bay in Kitsap county, and if working in Seattle, commute by ferry.

Also, be aware that the “Seattle freeze” is a real thing.

Everything is expensive. People in the Seattle/Tacoma area are some of the most lethargic I’ve ever met. Can be extremely difficult to find professionals who actually have pride in their work. The politics here are ridiculous. Winter is hard, very dark and cold. By February every year I’m dying for a day of sun. But… it’s absolutely gorgeous and has pockets of freedom lovers. Tons of amazing outdoor adventures. Summer here is glorious. My suggestion is to be east of Tacoma.

Food lovers paradise? Man, I need to know where they’re eating because I think the food here is shit.
