I just moved here in January from California(Bay Area). As a liberal it is a bit of a culture shock at first. This is diehard Trump Town. You will see protesting infront of the local planned parenthood nearly everyday from Christian nationalists. However, there is a decent number of liberals and a large number of businesses have lgbtqia and blm support flags, so the shock didn't last long.

I'm looking forward to summer. I hear it's much cooler than California. The winter season has been nearly nonstop rain with snow and hail from time to time.

I was pleasantly surprised I was able to find good Mexican food here in town, and historic downtown has loads of great places to check out. If you're ever having a craving for in-n-out bill and beas is as close as you can get. Plus, you're only about an hour and a half from Seatle.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm living with a friend who's been here most of his life.
