The Ferry System offers an excellent way to get back and forth from various parts of the state therefore eliminating much highway & expressway driving.

We chose to live there because we found Seattle to be entirely too expensive and congested. I like a little bit of space in my bubble.

Going into Seattle was fun though. There's always something to do. Pike Place Market, Music Museum, concerts, shows/theatre, underground tours, etc. The Space Needle is a tourist trap, though. Sure, the view is gorgeous, but you have to pay a minimum to dine up there and the service sucks. The food is okay, though.

As far as actually living there, Seattle is horrible during harsh winters. The hills (and there are a LOT of them) ice over and it's very common to have cars sliding back down into one another. For me, that's very scary.

However, the spring and summer cannot be beat! SeaFair brings in the speedboats and bathtub racers and Blue Angels but they are only a small part of the fabulousness of summertime in the PNW. Swimming, hiking, camping and day/road trips are the thing then. Temperatures are usually from the high 70s to the low or mid 90s, rarely hitting triple digits, but when they do, it's good to have a/c (half the homes don't have it).

Fall is absolutely stunning, with the leaves changing color and the nip and chill in the air.

I found that the atmosphere is quite tolerable there. Lots of family and lots of tatted and pierced folk all over. Friendly!

Wherever you decide to relocate to, definitely do your research. I did some with online income calculators only and they were all waaaay off base! WA and OR are right in line with CA as far as living expenses.
This was an excellent description......

Annually, it rains more in FL than in WA.

Honestly? Everything. It's felt like home to me since the first time I lived there (18 years ago now). The trees particularly - the amount of trees/forest, the weather. It soothes me

Another great thing about this area is you're never far from something fun to do! If you want to ski, a trip up to the mountains doesn't take long! Want to fish, again a drive to one of the many lakes, doesn't take long. Hiking, mountain and rock climbing they are all within a stone's throw of each other! Want to shop OMG we have great shopping from West Bend where the outlet mall is to Downtown Seattle it's a bonanza for shopping enthusiasts! If you're a people watcher and just want to sit and watch, we got plenty of places to do just that......don't EVEN get me started on the food

WA has a great gay community!

During Pride Week alone there is a plethora of events to choose from!

We have a street fair on Broadway, a Dyke March Saturday Evening , and a great Parade, lead off by dykes on bikes, the culminates the week's event!

Seattle has Goodwill Ambassadors that are more than happy to dispense suggestions of where to go and what to see in the great state of WA. I can't guarantee she's one of them, but then again perhaps she is......

If you're curious come check WA out........
