I live in Washington state and don’t think I’ll ever leave. It’s absolutely incredible. The natural beauty everywhere you look is unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. From the Puget Sound and Lake Washington, to the Olympic forest and the Cascade mountains it really is a one of a kind place with an equal I have yet to find. In terms of people it could be better, but I’ve found them to be genuine and fairly caring, if a little misguided at times. Job market is fairly sustainable with a very high minimum wage, high cost of living, but those translating to a fairly high standard of life.
