Grocery prices seems to be higher, specifically when your buying source of protein. Gas is also high, only behind California.

I rented an apartment in the Puget Park neighborhood in Everett, Washington, home of Boeing, for two years. Loved it. North Creek, huge green space, dog park, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, fireplace, which I never used, but I liked the mantel for displaying collectables, covered parking, covered patio, long, wide covered breezeway leading up 3 steps from car ports to the front door, small backyard (Woo Hoo!) with a variety of wildlife including raccoons, squirrels, birds, a few cats, opossums, full size washer and dryer, friendly, helpful neighbors, and friendly staff in the leasing office and maintenance crew. What more could one ask for. Rent started at more than $1,,400/month + utilities in the summer of 2021. When I moved back to Sacramento just before Thanksgiving in 2023, rent increased to more than s $1,700 + utilities . Compared to central California, to me it was Heaven on Earth. A whole lotta people commuted from Everett to Seattle.

I lived in Seattle almost 30 years but still didn't get used about weather this is reason why I think about leaving Seattle if you are outdoor person don't come here believe me other than that people in Seattle are friendly strong economy

To add about SAD: You also have to contend with the much shorter days during the fall/winter season. I've lived here all my life, and it used to be difficult dealing with it being dark hitting the commute going to and coming home from work.

The west is simply too expensive. Rent is 1.5k a month on the low end, we hold some of the highest gasoline, sales taxes, and grocery prices. With more policies implementing high minimum wages, businesses are not surviving... It's simply not possible to survive in this state if you make 25/hr or lower and have a car. The insurances, phone bill, and utilities will gobble it up.

I grew up in Seattle and lived there for 45 years. It is a nice place to live but my work brought me to a Northern Arizona and Colorado. When I retired I thought to going back but the gloom discouraged me as well as WOKE mind set made it a deal breaker. If you have the money don't mind the gloom in the winter and lean liberal you would do fine. It is a very beautiful area. Oh, yes homeless is a real issue right now.
