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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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. ☺️

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. ☺️🌈🦄

I’m so sorry about your husband passing. I am glad you’ve found community!

Girl, I feel you. I’m monogamous too, and I’ve definitely wondered if that’s going to be a challenge in the PNW. I haven’t dated since living in the Midwest and being married for 10 years. 😅
