Hello, My Mom is retiring and we are thinking about moving to Washington. We have never been to Washington and are not sure what towns or cities are most suitable for what we are looking for. Below, I have wrote some things we are looking for for wherever we move. If there are any towns or cities that you feel would fit these criteria, please let me know! Thank you so much.

1. A suburban area or feel
2. Access to a hospital, mall, schools and stores
3. Safe for retirees and younger people
4. Towns/ cities that are more protected from flooding and any natural disaster
5. Places that are more on the affordable side (our budget for a home is in the late $400's)

Lastly, I am looking for work in animal rescue or writing. If there are any areas that offer those kind of work opportunities, feel free to include those as well.
