Same story as me. Tired of the hot summers, awful winters, and really considering selling my house and moving to Washington State. I just need to do a ton of research because I have no idea what it's like - even from videos. Are there tornado risks? Earthquakes? My house is 300k and I'm looking on Zillow and some of these houses SMALLER than mine are 500k? 600k 700k lol....

I liked the video. I actually live in Missouri myself (St. Louis area) and lived in AK for 5 year before moving back. I am actually thinking about moving back to the PNW or at least owning some property there in the future. I miss the fishing, hunting and outdoors, but definitely don't miss the winters.

It's easy to make casual acquaintances, and also pretty easy to get along on a business-like level with your neighbors, parents of your kids' friends, etc. People are very polite. But wow. Making actually friends here is nearly impossible. I mean really connected people who have your back. I've never met more people who are suddenly busy every single day of their lives.

wenatchee is a slabe labor town ,Everybody worried about the endless bills , inflation and limited housing options. Corrupt politicians allow endless flow of illegals which only make things worse. Fake Smiles , Fake Happiness , Fake Everything.

[@hpgoldentrio99]

I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and it’s the same here. At the end of the day, people are just fake

Native Seattleite, lived up on Capitol Hill years ago when it had alot of large families. My mom’s side is from Port Angeles, and it was my favorite place and took two ferries to get there. We moved out of state and miss living by the Sound and the mountains.

[@LandieCandie]

Thanks for the video my guy seemed very genuine and not bias at all

[@livingintacomawashington]

I’m not from here originally so it’s just my two cents 👊🏻

[@pejmorgan9266]

Thank you so much for this information. Great video.

[@livingintacomawashington]

Of course! What really stood out to you?

[@SabinaFelker]

I love the rain, outdoors, dogs, and sunshine so maybe washington is a good state for me.

[@hunterfowler8322]

I'm living in TN now and I've wanted to move to Washington for a bit. This video pretty much convinced me, even wrote the dude's info down.

[@livingintacomawashington]

Hunter, shoot me a text brother 253.225.2395

[@nene1964]

5:40 the company i used to work at in seattle not only allowed free snacks and beer at the office they also allowed dogs 😂

[@davidlangum8085]

I'm currently in Springfield, Illinois, and I'm moving to Washington in 4 weeks. Thank you for this video.

[@livingintacomawashington]

That’s awesome! Where are you moving to?

[@davidlangum8085]

​@@livingintacomawashington I’m moving in late August/September to either Olympia or somewhere that’s an hour or less from Olympia, because that’s the most I’m willing to commute to a potential job, and also that allows me to compare rent between the 18 cities/towns I’m looking at. In the meantime, I’ll be in Port Townsend with family, while I get my ducks in a row. I’m seeking a job in either local/state government or with a nonprofit, because my majors in college were Political Science and History, so I feel government or nonprofit work would suit me best.

[@betho4212]

​@davidlangum8085 How do you enjoy it!? I was born and raised in Sarasota FL and I want to move to WA. Love the forest but also need a high income area.

[@nene1964]

You can leave Washington but Washington doesn’t leave you. I miss it so so much.

[@keyronjanuary5576]

Hey I just came across your channel on KZbin. I live in Missouri as well, I live in Columbia Missouri. I’ve always been a nature dude. I’ve always wanted to go to Washington and Oregon. But can’t decide. What’s the difference between them two? Also what made you move to WA?

[@livingintacomawashington]

The two states are similar in a lot of ways. Maybe thats a video I need to do. Oregon vs Washington 😉 Missouri was so boring man, out here it’s so pretty, tons of water, mountains and the best of nature. Not to mention access to cities with a ton of stuff to do. We moved because of incomes. The average income here is 2.5 times higher than MO. We also love nature, hiking, but we also love city life. After searching the country and visiting places from coast to coast this was THE SPOT

[@chickenlittle9468]

We are planning to move in the next couple of years to Sequim, WA or Port Angeles from California. I will contact you for some info on realtors in that area. Thank you!

[@livingintacomawashington]

@@chickenlittle9468 absolutely! I have great partners up there!

[@djenkins1918]

Washington State has the most regressive taxes in the nation. You will pay higher prices for alcohol, drivers license,license tabs/registration for vehicles, andvthe list goes on. Small businesses struggle to stay alive. Taxes and fees are outrageous.

[@Mathis218337]

only regressive if you buy stuff. For the frugal person, WA is way better.

[@thegoober8797]

😊poor people problems

[@djenkins1918]

Everyones problem!​@@thegoober8797

[@chickenlittle9468]

Not for me, I am coming from CA! SF Bay Area in particular, and WA is much cheaper than that.

[@livingintacomawashington]

What do you think about moving to Washington? Does it seem worth it!?

[@livingintacomawashington]

For some perspective we aren’t originally from WA we moved from MO, with kids. I think this brings some solid insight

[@BodaciousCNO]

Where would you say is a great place to raise a family if we want to prioritize education

[@schneiderfuentesfonte]

Beautiful video!

[@livingintacomawashington]

Thank you so much

[@farideomran-no5ws]

very good .thanks from Iran.

[@Josuke538]

I just wanted to move because Kurt corncob

[@danhollatz5944]

Once you said Seattle, I left your channel!

[@_Talise]

Seattle is cool for a city. All cities have high crime or are gross, all have cons, seattle really isn't that bad

[@Quintessence.]

Austin: Another issue that could go both ways is political and ideological affiliation. I think you dropped a hint about this when you mentioned "Tree Huggers" being reported by Fox News and "even" CNN. Why say "even" CNN..? Are you showing your Leftist colors? The PNW is known to be Blue (Democrat) mainly concentrated in the larger population centers. Correct? While most of the rural areas in the PNW are Red (Conservative GOP), so that could play an important role in deciding where a person or family relocates to.

[@livingintacomawashington]

No, I’m quite conservative. It’s just an observation. I said even cnn because they tend to side with the more left.

[@sprontos]

The irony is strong in this comment.

[@candacestevens4446]

WA was the ONLY state to turn more blue in the recent 2024 election. Seattle/King County decides for the entire state which is unfortunate. And they elected a worse governor than the current who’s rated worst governor in the US. Leadership is AWFUL here, just look at Seattle

[@AskRemy]

washington state has 1 of the highest crime rates of all states

[@The1reid1]

Correct, but because of the cities.

[@sprontos]

Yeah, that’s how per capita works. Math is sooo confusing.

[@sherimatukonis6016]

first - stay out of Seattle

[@nene1964]

Sales tax is not a problem just cross the border to oregon they dont have sales tax. problem solved 😂
