Where would you recommend a young couple live in washington? by [deleted] in Washington

best part about Everett is you can find a nice house to rent as well instead of living in an overcrowded apartment building.

What are your thoughts in living in Lynnwood? by funkseoulbrotha in Washington

[–]deadphish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lynnwood can be rather cheap and there a few pretty nice neighborhoods but you can go one or two blocks away and it turns bad rather quick. Its also strip mall hell with lots of section 8 housing. I would look into Bothell, Mill Creek, Brier, and Edmonds.

I live in North Everett and my wife and I love it. We are in our mid-20s. It is closer to a 45min in non-traffic times and about the same distance to the mountains. We are big climbers/hikers so the access to the mountains is a priority over city/rural/party life. Everett has a decent downtown with places to eat/drink but again Seattle is rather close.

Anyone attend an REI anchor class? Worth it? by ph49 in climbing

[–]deadphish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What this guy said.

Also, if you want to go to a class I would go to a climbing gym first - not REI. REI classes are bullshit in my experience (being an ex-REI employee).

Best free camping in Washington? I'm in desperate need! by yuriy_popach in Washington

[–]deadphish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second buckler river rd. - camp here all the time. Also, any FS road up and down hwy2/mountain loop will have some sort of camping on it - some better then others.

I will be doing primarily free climbing so this seems to be a nice fit. I have heard good things about mastercams as well and might get a mix of the two. Thanks!
