Yeah waiting for a Metro bus for over 50 minutes for a bus that should come by every 20 is a great public transit system LMAO. Just take a car and you will at least avoid the rain. This lady is out of her mind about how great Portland is. And the food scene is just so so. It isn’t NYC or even close.

Yeah Portland has city buses that don’t stop for people in the crosswalk is great. Not.

These prices are hard to imagine for us Californians. What would $750,000 get you? Can you even find homes at that price point in some of these towns?

I'm so glad I happened across your channel. I grew up in Wenatchee and left when I was in my early 20s. I moved out east, then found myself being drawn England 13 years ago. One thing I'm grateful to have heard you mention in this video is Gortex or Gortech (?) I'd forgotten about that, and that is exactly what I need to find here in England where we have rather cool/cold and wet autumn, winter, and sadly, spring! Our winters are cold, but not Wenatchee or Ohio cold! 🥶

Ooof! $250.00 to $500.00 a month for electricity? That sounds very expensive compared to what I pay per month. But I left Wenatchee a long time ago. I pay £112.00 a month at most, but that's in England. You say that that's the lowest for the national average? Well, in that case, I guess you have a lot to be thankful for! I do miss Wenatchee. It's such a beautiful place, and as the saying goes, there's no place like home x

She forgot to add proximity to Spokane. Spokane has everything Seattle does and the drive is a lot easier.

Dang idk the property prices seem quite high, people are selling shacks from the 1920's for 300k

Came through Cashmere on the way to Wenatchee just today. I hadn't been through in years and was really impressed with the residential investments in particular. A beautiful area with really beautiful historic neighborhoods just minutes away from Wenatchee.

I regret living here because of the filth in Olympia.

I’d rather move back to Tampa, my home law and order in the sunshine state

My family is west of the Cascades so I've been thinking Belfair/Bremerton to get away from the Seattle/Bellevue high costs. That said I'm really attracted to Wenatchee and Yakima but those might be a bit too far from friends and family.

Leavenworth is a horrible tourist trap. Driving through it (only because we have no other choice in the winter) makes me nauseous. The tourists have no idea how to drive or much less how to follow the basic pedestrian rules. Whoever would consider buying there needs there head examined. What a horrible choice

Wrong from the start, it isn't closed

Washington State is better than California.

Lake Stevens directly abuts Everett. It is not "25 miles away"

You forgot to mention that the there is a college, an awesome medical clinic and a hospital in Wenatchee that attracts a lot of seniors who dont want to be stuck in traffic everyday. Many upsides and downsides like many mid size cities.

My parents have had a summer place in Chelan for close to 40 years. I hate it there, probably enough said.

2020 hit Portland hard. Fentanyl, riots and obsession with being victims and causers has made it a difficult place to be. Now it's so obsessed with race, trans everything, trauma and fragility, you can't even get through a night at a house party without a 30 min conversation with someone crying who is a professional victim and needs to tell you all about it. It's all a bunch of "I just can't" to the point where the city can barely accomplish anything. Gen Z needs to be covered in bubble wrap to even handle their basic day to day. It's got incredible parks and nature, good food, and fun art installations, but the cost of living and high taxes are way too high for the amenities this city has to offer and the job market is crap unless you want to make barely enough money to live in your car. I've lived all over the world and chose to put down roots here when it was an amazing fun place with busy streets downtown on a Saturday night. Now, it's a shell of itself with businesses and residents leaving in droves. Meanwhile, we have the highest income tax in the country but somehow just can't fix our potholes. It's a great place if you want a future making $22 an hour with no retirement at 70 years old. But being surrounded by a bunch of people who "just can't " isn't usually the best environment to foster long-term success. Homelessness and crime are no worse than any other major city (just ask people that live near skid row or in NY that have to deal with the national guard in the subway.) It's the cancel culture and liberal indoctrination that will be the reason I leave. It's really sad because I absolutely love this place. But I can no longer be forcefed liberal indoctrination through a tube. It's too much.

Who is dreaming about portland? Those parks are full of homeless, tents and crime.

I live in Eastern Washington and we have very little crime compared to the westside of the state. In it is too easy why Mercer Island has no crime. Low life criminals can’t afford to go there. You have to be rich to afford to even hang out on Mercer Island. Being an island helps too.

I'm confused. Spokane Valley was listed, but then you started talking about Spokane and showing video of Spokane. Spokane and Spokane Valley are two separate cities.

If you in any way suffer from Mental Illness and aren't used to 8 months of Gray-Rainy days I would discourage you from Moving to the Pacific North West (PNW)

My Uncle moved to Portland when he was 19 and just before he died at 85 a couple of years ago, he said he wished he had never left Montana.

I lived there in the nineties and I commonly referred to Portland as "The Peoples Republic". One of the stranger places I have ever lived in.

Audio is un-hearable.

Portland is a great place to move to if you want the windows broken out of your car and face a knife-packing homeless dope addict. The "Portland vibe" attracted liberal and "open minded" and ever so "progressive" folks who voted in open drug use and sanctuary-city lawlessness. Don't even drive through The Roach City.

Nobody is moving to Portland. They are leaving the dumpster fire of a city.

Rumor has it they are going to be pumping Brawndo into the water supply.

yuo.alreadygone

😂 lived in Portland for 35 years. It’s great! Definitely some issues but the exaggeration about how bad Portland is is amazing. But keep it up liars ,theres too many people here already.

Watched otber videos on the area. Looks sad Bur most of america is headed this way.

Keeping Portland weird is why there's lawlessness in Portland. It used to be a cool city. It's no longer that. Spent my life in Oregon. Had to leave, the politics are crazy there.

Oregon has the second highest % of people on SNAP. Mississippi won gold .

WHY in the world would ANYONE move TO Portland??

Interesting, no comment on the unhoused issue..maybe that has changed? Thanks for the info!

Oregon is where your dreams go to die

Thank you for exposing ''Hell on Earth''-''Scum center of North America''. I've lived in Portland, Or. every day of my life and nothing good has ever happened to me.

Pros to add, public community services rec centets and libraries. Walkable most areas and bicycle friendly- you dont need a car to get around most places. Oregon beaches owned by the people, full access no private beaches. Oregon health plan. Gardening programs for low income food self sufficientcy

Food trucks so overpriced considering no restaurant exp.

There’s a BIG difference between Portland and Oregon, Oregon is beautiful and friendly while Portland is a shit lovers town.

I love Oregon .

Do not move to Oregon. Oregon in itself is a nightmare. For one the justice system over there is absolutely insane. It is nothing short of a human trafficking situation. Does judges get paid and own stock into those jails which are paid over $175 a day for each inmate. Yoga to prison for driving without a license. They also love to separate you from your family and has happened to thousands of men. Stay out of Oregon

Your audio is silent, but I can hear the sound effects of your edits. Have you been censored?

Don't move here unless you can handle 3 plus months of poor air quality thanks to the annual fire season, being in a valley smoke can linger.

Holy watch time Amanda! Nice work!

I wouldn't call the " mall" here anything close to what you would typically expect a mall to be.. it's horrid

hi there..is yakima safe? i lived there for 2 years back in the late 80s- 87 to 89

How original.

One area Leavenworth could improve upon is the sidewalks. Maintain them, and provide better access to them for those with disabilities.
