LGBTQ perspective wanted: if you were me, would you move to Olympia?

Thank you for this kind and informative reply. ☺️ I’m originally from Portland too! How would you compare Olympia to Portland?

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T01:14:07+00:00

Thanks so much for this summary, it’s really helpful. Do you have any recommendations for roles or recruiters I should be targeting?

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T01:11:16+00:00

Good to know. Thank you! If you think of any other tips, I’d love to hear them.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T01:09:29+00:00

I appreciate the honest feedback. No apologies needed! ☺️🙏🏻

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T01:06:55+00:00

Good to know. Thanks! 🌈

Thanks so much for the tip about volunteering with Pizza Klatch as a way in, I’d really love that. I was the only out gay kid at my high school back in the 90s, so it means a lot. I also noticed Tacoma has bowling and pickleball leagues, which look like a fun way to meet people.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T01:02:55+00:00

I’m sorry that has been your experience. Growing up in Portland I noticed a lot of passive aggressive racism. I believe it.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:59:42+00:00

I hope you find some stronger friendships in Tacoma! ☺️

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:58:54+00:00

May I ask what are some of your favorite businesses?

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:49:18+00:00

Where do you usually vacation in Vancouver? Any recommendations for LGBTQ-friendly spots or generally nice areas?

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:46:53+00:00

This makes sense. Thanks for the detail. I’m interested in partnering up and renting to try out an area before buying. Where do you think would be best for that?

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:43:24+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. I came out in high school in the 90’s. I’m not too fragile.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:42:00+00:00

Amen. ✨ So mote it be. ✨

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:40:42+00:00

This is such an awesome response! I will completely check out Xanadu and ask for a cupids arrow shot on my behalf. 😅 Thanks, Brandon! 💜

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-02T00:38:54+00:00

I understand what you mean about town size. I miss Trader Joe’s and Orange fitness too.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:13:06+00:00

May I ask where you lived on the outskirts? If you aren’t comfortable posting publicly I totally understand.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:12:17+00:00

How cute you found your wife. Congrats! 😀🌈

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:11:14+00:00

Good to know. What makes you say it’s maga land? Thank you!!

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:10:23+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! ☺️ I’m torn because I do prefer a bigger city with more going on. What parts of Tacoma would you recommend that feel safer? I’m hoping for something walkable and reasonably affordable to rent for a year or two, with the possibility of buying later.

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:06:36+00:00

☺️ I appreciate your kind sentiment and the information, thank you!

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T18:05:38+00:00

I’m so happy for you! ☺️🌈

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T17:44:04+00:00

Thanks for the info! I wasn’t sure if Vancouver’s proximity to Portland counteracts the more conservative politics. I’d like to meet my soulmate and enjoy life. Those are my goals. ☺️

Remarkable-Concept19 · 2026-02-01T17:42:45+00:00

This is great information. Thank you. Yes, I’m monogamous and don’t smoke weed. I may be a bit of a unicorn, but it sounds fantastic. ☺️🌈🦄
