OT: Moving out of state
- Thread starter ejgonz
- Start date
Come on out to Washington. Just ranked the #1 state for a second straight year by U.S. News and World Report.
Mainly (no pun intended) the latter....they usually last into June and unlike mosquitos breed in moving water. Nasty bites though!!
+1 this is where I live now. Kind of Maine like but much better winters west of the Cascades!
one of my twin sons, John, and his wife are moving to Everette Washington in July 2021.
Have they recovered from the sticker shock when they checked the real estate prices? However, my niece works in Seattle and loves it.
Yes, he is a doctor and she is an attorney. I don’t have to support them financially.
I think it varies based on the state your employer is based in and their rules. In NJ it doesn't seem there is a law, but in NY there is.

Between the threat of school shootings and now COVID, the current generation of students really caught some lousy breaks. The images in this Tweet are probably a good solution--having a roomful of students blowing their hearts out amidst an infection that's spread via airborne transmission isn't...

I have a number of co workers living in the State of Washington. Number of comments from them...While they have always loved living there, outdoor life and all...But over the past few years- has become crazy expensive, has become crazy political(both sides- loony left and the crazy extreme right) and last year- had some extreme periods of rain that were even too much for the PAcific NW...
As for myself and choices to live...We no longer have kids in school so school systems make no difference...except- for the quality of people living in the area. Next home, we will most likely be in the $850k range and looking for a minimum of 4 BR 3 Bath and need property for dogs. Would love to be water front- could be fresh or salt water.
With this being the case...It is so hard to make an argument for staying in NJ except for staying near the grown children and now, grand children.
Property taxes in NJ just all out suck. Extreme weather, even though we have 4 seasons- the brutal winters are getting tough. And with the pricepoint we want to be at and the type of house, going into places like the Carolina's make so much more sense. More house, updated, more property and 1/3 or less in taxes. Taxes alone could be a difference of 1000-1500 per month.

We live in Bothell. We’ve been camping out in your area.
yes, you definitely have both extremes here though we do have our share of moderates as well. The winter rain was definitely much higher than normal over the last year too....but maybe because 2020 was so messed up in many ways!!

Wenatchee is a great little city. Besides being out in the middle of gorgeous mountain and river country, it's part of WA's wine and (hard) cider country. And plenty of good craft breweries around the area, along with one of the country's best Oktoberfests. Oh, and you can buy hard liquor at the supermarket.
You'd love it ... if you remembered it.
If you don't have kids in the school system, sounds like a wonderful place...... Not 😄😄😄
Well, if you like being in real mountains, not A-cup nipples, it certainly is! 😉
No kids, or Grandkids means you can explore where you want to relocate.
Rent a large RV and tour the US to see where you want to buy/rent for the season.
Get a Realtor at each RV stop and have "it" show you around in your price points and likes.
When you find the one you like turn in the RV.
