Thinking about moving to Washington...Pros & Cons?

[BillyBeer]

I lived in the Olympia area for 6 years and it is beautiful. You are close to Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and the Cascades.

Yes it rains a lot in Washington but we get less rain the DC, NY and many other areas - it is just that we get it little by little. So we have more days of rain during late fall-spring.

The summers are great warm but not normally hot and normally stretch into late Sept. With the rain in the winter we don't get much snow or really cold weather either.

If you like the outdoors and are ok with some gray sky's - it is a great place to live.

Thanks Billy, One other thing. What about LHBS's? I found Rocky Top in Olympia but the website is under construction. I also see Brewers Health Supplies, and a bunch of other ones in various towns. Any feedback on those places?

Keep in mind that 2/3rd of Washington is a desert. Everybody always talks about he rain and while most of the population is on the west side (wet side) and where most of the stories are from, there is still 2/3rd of the state that has all 4 seasons with a dry summer.

Did you ever move up this way?

Nope, can't get a decent price for my house here. I'd lose my arse if I tried to move.
