As someone who lived in Olympia, I really miss the beauty of the state. I would play baseball and after every game, I would walk to my dads truck, I look to my left, and I will never forget the beauty of Mt. Ranier in the distance, with a sunset behind the mountain it was so beautiful, and I moved in July, and I remember my last game of baseball ever, I stared at Mt. Ranier for at least a minute with me sobbing, I didn’t want to leave. I miss everything about the state, except the rain
glad you like it, i grew up in bonney lake and i’ve never even considered moving out of state permanently. moved to arizona for a couple years and it was miserable in every way compared to here
@@sixteen.candles.4644 i will say it’s good for money, i made a lot of mulah living down there but that’s the only good part in my opinion. at least the only part that’s better than washington
How old are you? I remember when Bonny lake had a wrecking yard, a bar and a little store and a U-Haul storage place, that’s all there was between Buckley and Myers road, now, it’s completely Fucked.
Ive grown up and live in washington and the natural beauty here still amazes me… not saying the western rain is for everyone (to live with) but if you like nature and forests you will love to visit. I suggest the coastal peninsula, it is incredibly breathtaking. ..
I want to move there. Tunisia here north Africa. I've never been to the US but it's already my favorite state. Working on getting there, fingers crossed. Thank you for the positive vibes.
Same . My husband came out here and flew me and the kids out . Went back home to Cali, and in two weeks we moved to Pierce county . This was 4 years ago and I agree it was the best thing we ever did! I absolutely LOVE it here!!!❤
as someone living in mukilteo for there whole life, (next to everett) i have never thought about moving for the 26 years of my life. washington is so nice.
I lived in Vancouver for a few years, got tired of stepping over junkies and potential dead bodies outside my office building. Moved back to GA. That said, I visited the area a few weeks ago and it was vastly better after they stopped allowing the homeless people to set up a campsite wherever they wanted to etc.
We used to go to Washington, a couple of times a year, vacationing and camping and it’s just turned into a dangerous place to go. The crime rate is astronomical and some of these towns and cities especially some of the more touristy ones. We stopped going maybe five or six years ago
We did practically the same thing. Took a week vacation to orcas island in August, then went back home to Texas and started making plans, quit my good job at ExxonMobil, sold two houses, bought a travel trailer and hauled the family up here and landed in Puyallup. That was in 2018 and we don’t regret it at all. We DO miss the lower prices and sometimes the warmth from back home but that’s all.
Welcome bro. Don't look back. We got rain. So what. Cheap hydro power. Fishing. Scenic beauty. Diverse economy. Just watch your vehicle. Highest auto thefts around. Everyone loses when insurance companies spread the costs.
Washington's a beautiful place I currently live in Oregon but if I circumstances ever allow it I'll probably move back to the Thurston county area provided haven't gone to crap since last time I lived there several years ago
@@livingintacomawashington I own a construction business and have worked in 35 states in 25 years I don’t travel anywhere with out my 30’ travel trailer. So everywhere I go I am at home.

@@livingintacomawashington earlier this year I went to KC see a friend of mine and even started working with him for a couple Weeks in Lee's Summit but man no offense but that while kc area was the worst area in the USA I've been too and i travel alot I understand fully how you feel moving from there to here and by the way I live in Tacoma myself grew up here if you ever needed any pointers best bars to go to or anything just let me know
I am so glad for you that this worked out for you---but I live in St. Louis and recently visited relatives in Seattle and I can't imagine living there. There are lots of things I don't like in Washington. I grew up in Los Angeles.
My wife and I are moving out there but I heard trying to get a job is very hard. However I can’t find a tech job anywhere right now. We r having a very hard time sucks. But Washington if I ever get something
as a former resident born there, its a great summer home place. however 8 months out if the year its gray and annoyingly wet. the people are also pretty cold there. the taxes and politics also suck a lot. but there still are plenty of pros outside of that i will be fair
Bro don't move here! The only thing we have going for us is our state parks and national parks otherwise the democrats have run housing prices, SOL prices, crime rates, homeless rates into all time highs
My great uncle moved there alaska is really my dream but found a job that will alow me to visit all over alaska but stay in Washington ima head that way asap going to be quite a few years tho gots responsibilities firs but I'm excited 😊
Some of my mom's family moved to the Washington coast from Missouri in the 1950s. The evergreens were the thing they loved the most. Washington has desert like scrub lands in the middle and then it moves into mountains with 4 seasons when you get near N Idaho.

Okay….western Washington is vastly different from central Washington and eastern Washington. He is in Tacoma area I believe . If you can afford to own or rent in western Washington it can be nice but expensive. I would choose Bellingham if I had my pick. Imagine if Subaru , REI and a college town had a baby together….thats Bellingham.
Brother keep it on the low, if you tell people this they will move here. You tell people from here on out that it never stops raining and the weather is depressing.
Currently the average rent in the greater sound region is around 2800 a month obviously, if you’re in certain areas it’s more or less but it’s definitely not cheap.
Real! It really is too darn expensive here.. we’re military and have lived mostly on the east side like Tennessee… since we moved to Washington it’s a real struggle! We never even payed close to the utilities and housing like we do here in Washington.. it’s crazy expensive I know there are other more expensive places.. but man I’ve never payed about $3,000 to rent a 3 bedroom home and that’s standard. We don’t even stay in a city area and it’s that expensive.. My husband is even at a decent rank! It’s not worth it! It also seems to be getting worse. Tennessee was a lot easier to live at than here. Just my opinion… if people got the money and all that by all means.. but man it’s a huge no for me. I’ve never even seen this much homeless people as well. It’s really sad..
As someone who lives in Washington its beautiful. But I live on the eastern side so I mostly live in the desert but the mountains in eastern Washington is cool. But I do visit west Washington about a couple times a year and it’s beautiful!
I dont like cold, rain or overcast skies, which means Washington was out of the question. But I did end up moving from Maine to Arizona and havent looked back. Love it here!!
I got out of my home town and their is absolutely Nothing to do in wastington state and it's as expensive like CALIFORNIA. Same rent, gas, electric etc.
I know you’re not asking me but we landed in Puyallup and it’s beautiful. Duval, Monroe, Black Diamond area and Bonney lake area are all beautiful as well.
Currently living in Northwest Arkansas (my hometown). Prices are going up here ridiculously anyways, and I just don’t find the value in it anymore. Washington state is in the cards for me soon!
Yep I agree with you 1 million thousand percent to Infiniti and beyond packed everything what I had left with $500 from Miami and drove my ass cross country out to the state that gave me everything been blessed for the last five years❤
Thank you for posting this! If you can’t handle the clouds and rain, you’ll be miserable on the West side of the Cascades. It’s totally different on the East side of the mountains- Wenatchee gets over 300+ days of sunshine each year.
When i was young teenager I used to dream about moving to Washington State but ever since i learned about the traffic, high cost of living and other problems it has completely turned me off to that idea nowadays i am leaning towards moving to the Midwest.
It is a beautiful place. I used to spend a couple weeks in Washington state at a couple of different locations every year but it’s turned into a cesspool and in many areas it’s very dangerous. Tukwila and Seattle has out of control crime and out of control homeless people everywhere and most of them are drug addicts or alcoholics. Spokane is just as bad. Just be careful where you’re going. there is absolutely some beautiful scenery but be careful where you’re going and where you’re staying
I'd love to move to Washington state from pennslyvania but man i just moved from new york state almost 2 years ago ... i like the pacific northwest though especially beautiful Washington state even though seattle is turning a dumpster fire of a city.
I’ve lived in Washington my whole life, what do you guys see in Washington that makes you want to move here? I don’t really see the hype but maybe it’s cause I just stay in my hometown
The only problem with the Seattle area is your isolated and far from other regions and states. It doesn’t matter tho because everything you need is here but not seeing family often is a bummer.
I live in Seattle (moved here 7 years ago)... yeah, the airfare and flight times to anywhere else is the only real drawback for me. I'm from Colorado and used to being 2.5 max from most US destinations. Family is still in CO, but I have lots of friends from Vancouver BC to Eugene, OR.
My mom was born and raised in WA. I was born in San Diego. My dad was navy. I have been coming to WA since i was born. After i got out of the navy i moved to WA i hated CA . 10 years ago it was wonderful. Bur in the past 10 years there was a decline. Too many laws now restricting my way of life and too crowded. My wife who has lived in Washington her entire life wants to leave also.
Yea sure. If you like moss & mold growing on EVERYTHING, weeds EVERYWHERE & a non-stop drizzly rain that NEVER freakin’ stops…move to WA. I’ll stay in SoCal
Bro I did the same and it’s the stupidest thing anyone could do living prices is like twice if not three times as much always rains so get ready to be depressed
Somebody please get me out of this california hellhole. Believe me, Im not one of those people who is going to bring cali to the northwest, Im not like that. In fact its the complete opposite; I want to come to your state to GET AWAY from this place, cause I hate it too!
I mean, that’s probably because you came from Missouri. I came from Colorado, so I don’t agree with you. That being said, nature out here is amazing. I’m not crazy about the nonstop rain and then no rain at all in the summer. I’m not crazy about the hassle of going places. In Colorado, you could easily go to a waterfall, a wilderness trail, or a mountain in less than an hour. In WA, the wilderness is so vast that you might live 45 minutes from Mt. Rainier as the crow flies…but it’ll take you 3 hours of driving on roads that’ll make anyone in the back seat vomit. It’s all about what you value. I’ve lived in 5 different states. My favorite by far has been Colorado. Even though I’m complaining, Washington would be at #2.
I'm from illinios. Been here 22 years. Never looked back or regretted it. Raised my kids here. I love the beauty & the ppl. Btw...we call Missouri " misery 😂
so glad you and your family were all able to move there! i’ve always felt like i needed to live there. money is always the issue though. i live in california and we’re just too busy paying off other things rather than saving to move there😞
Getting a head is really hard! Especially on finances. Really in places like CA where cost of living is so high! Are you saving anything? It’s okay if it takes a long time as long as your making progress. Progress is progress no matter how small.
@@livingintacomawashington thanks for the kind words! yep, we’re saving a lot but we’re also paying for rent which totally sucks. we have good paying jobs but sometimes, living in CA, it’s still not enough:(!
I’m asian and I’m planning to take the board exam here as a nurse… how’s the healthcare system there? You’re reply will be a great help. Tnx to ur video
It’s fantastic! There are sooooo many healthcare jobs here. Specifically where are you looking to live? Another great bonus is health care in Washington is cheaper than the national average.

I live and Washington id love to move out to the country in the Midwest get out of the city you know
That is literally why I made this channel. Its not for everyone!
Idk why you are flipping out all I said was I dont like Washington
I never said I don't like Washington
All I said was I don't want to stay in Seattle forever
Awesome place if you want to spend three quarters of your life waiting for the rain to stop
5 kids is all i heard 😂 bro must be a Billionare
Lolz not quite a billionaire, but I’m good with my money and make a good amount 😀😅😂
It is a beautiful place. I used to spend a couple weeks in Washington state at a couple of different locations every year but it’s turned into a cesspool and in many areas it’s very dangerous. Tukwila and Seattle has out of control crime and out of control homeless people everywhere and most of them are drug addicts or alcoholics. Spokane is just as bad. Just be careful where you’re going. there is absolutely some beautiful scenery but be careful where you’re going and where you’re staying
I agree with you did the same thing after visiting 7 years ago am now living in Pierce county do not regret this decision
I'd love to move to Washington state from pennslyvania but man i just moved from new york state almost 2 years ago ... i like the pacific northwest though especially beautiful Washington state even though seattle is turning a dumpster fire of a city.
I’ve lived in Washington my whole life, what do you guys see in Washington that makes you want to move here? I don’t really see the hype but maybe it’s cause I just stay in my hometown
It's a beautiful state as long as you're not in an urban area.
No!!!! It rains ALL THE TIME!!!!
EARTHQUAKES!
HIGH TAXES!
EXPENSIVE EVERYTHING!
TOO MANY PEOPLE!
Washington is a great place to live in just look past the pollution and the industry and you can see a really wet mountain and one with no top
3rd and Pike is the best place in Washington.
The problem is leaving family behind.
@@zomb60 they come visit us
No quit telling people to move here its overcrowded and overpriced already
Except it’s too expensive for most people to afford
Washington is beautiful but, you can have the rain.😏👍
How bad was the place you came from?
The only problem with the Seattle area is your isolated and far from other regions and states. It doesn’t matter tho because everything you need is here but not seeing family often is a bummer.
I live in Seattle (moved here 7 years ago)... yeah, the airfare and flight times to anywhere else is the only real drawback for me. I'm from Colorado and used to being 2.5 max from most US destinations. Family is still in CO, but I have lots of friends from Vancouver BC to Eugene, OR.
This is the type of state I would just move out by myself and start anew.
My mom was born and raised in WA. I was born in San Diego. My dad was navy. I have been coming to WA since i was born. After i got out of the navy i moved to WA i hated CA . 10 years ago it was wonderful. Bur in the past 10 years there was a decline. Too many laws now restricting my way of life and too crowded. My wife who has lived in Washington her entire life wants to leave also.
Just about Anything along the I-5 corridor is a dumpster fire. Rampant crime,homelessnes,high cost of living.
Yea sure. If you like moss & mold growing on EVERYTHING, weeds EVERYWHERE & a non-stop drizzly rain that NEVER freakin’ stops…move to WA. I’ll stay in SoCal
I live in AZ and I’m tired of the heat and want to move there or Oregon bc I miss the rain and nature
Let’s do it! Grab a zoom with me and let’s get you out of that dry awful heat
Bro I did the same and it’s the stupidest thing anyone could do living prices is like twice if not three times as much always rains so get ready to be depressed
Somebody please get me out of this california hellhole. Believe me, Im not one of those people who is going to bring cali to the northwest, Im not like that. In fact its the complete opposite; I want to come to your state to GET AWAY from this place, cause I hate it too!
I mean, that’s probably because you came from Missouri. I came from Colorado, so I don’t agree with you. That being said, nature out here is amazing. I’m not crazy about the nonstop rain and then no rain at all in the summer. I’m not crazy about the hassle of going places. In Colorado, you could easily go to a waterfall, a wilderness trail, or a mountain in less than an hour. In WA, the wilderness is so vast that you might live 45 minutes from Mt. Rainier as the crow flies…but it’ll take you 3 hours of driving on roads that’ll make anyone in the back seat vomit.
It’s all about what you value. I’ve lived in 5 different states. My favorite by far has been Colorado. Even though I’m complaining, Washington would be at #2.
I'm from illinios. Been here 22 years. Never looked back or regretted it. Raised my kids here. I love the beauty & the ppl. Btw...we call Missouri " misery 😂
Right! Same here . 🤣🤣🤣
so glad you and your family were all able to move there! i’ve always felt like i needed to live there. money is always the issue though. i live in california and we’re just too busy paying off other things rather than saving to move there😞
Getting a head is really hard! Especially on finances. Really in places like CA where cost of living is so high! Are you saving anything? It’s okay if it takes a long time as long as your making progress. Progress is progress no matter how small.
@@livingintacomawashington thanks for the kind words! yep, we’re saving a lot but we’re also paying for rent which totally sucks. we have good paying jobs but sometimes, living in CA, it’s still not enough:(!
I’m asian and I’m planning to take the board exam here as a nurse… how’s the healthcare system there? You’re reply will be a great help. Tnx to ur video
It’s fantastic! There are sooooo many healthcare jobs here. Specifically where are you looking to live?
Another great bonus is health care in Washington is cheaper than the national average.
Thank u so much for this. I’m planning to apply for the NCLEX Washington board for nursing this year.
Did you ever think about moving to the other side of the mountains like Yakima cle elum ellinsberg
You might want to mention which Leavenworth you're talking about.
I live in washington little town of Wenatchee
I was just there this weekend!
@@livingintacomawashington huh cool
