I have never been as an adult, well not really.

I can't wait to get a passport and come and visit Seattle. It will be a good time I am sure.

I have lived in Washington State all my life. In the central area. Seattle is a bit busy for me. BUT, I have lots of friends who live there and love it. Central Washington gets more snow and colder weather than Seattle. I do however love the rain and wetter weather of the Seattle area.
I am told there are a lot of work opportunities in that area. As far as lower cost of living? It isn't much lower than California. On the BONUS side it is one of the more popular areas for same sex households and I am told it has a lot of clubs.

My oldest and dearest friend, Maidi!!

Also, the musiums in both Seattle (Music expression is amazing) and Tacoma (Glass Art Musium there is phenomenal). Can't beat WA for outdoors activities.

There is a fairly large B-F contingent in Seattle and queer partner dance community. Also,

The Longview area is quite nice and I love Vancouver. If I did not have severe arthritis and fibro, I would have moved to WA a long time ago. It also has some of the best school districts in the US as well as the U of W is a fine educational institution and ranks above many state university systems. Also a very progressive community college system that actually does what community college are mean't to do.

I know a few people in tech fields that obviously have found fantastic employment in WA as well. As a state, it also has a decent state health insurance program. It beats CA all to hell in that as well as education. Sorry to say since I was born, raised, educated and teach in CA.

Can't leave out the WNBA SEATTLE STORM!!

I live on one of the islands in the Sound. I moved here from San Francisco, CA. I love all the trees, the clean air, the isolation, clear skies at night and all the stars.

I love that my neighbors are friendly and not fake like in the cities. They are farmers and ranchers, you need help just ask. Be yourself, do not put on airs, you never know they may save your life someday.

I love the winters, lots of rain, some snow and lots of wind. I'm surrounded by 30 year old Fir trees. My nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away and the closest town is 10 miles away as is the nearest hospital. Last winter, to get to work I had to cut up a fallen 40 foot tree that lost it's footing. As I was cutting up the tree, it was like loosing an old friend and it made me sad.

I love that I'm surrounded by the very thing I love, the ocean. I love that I always have two fishing poles and my tackle box backpack in my car. I get off work, head to the ocean and catch dinner. I love that I can dig for 20 minutes and have enough clams and mussels for a meal and there are no polluted water advisories.

I stay away from Seattle, if I wanted the city life I would have stayed in SF......NOT!
