Thanks! It really is a great place. Lots of variety in climate, topography, culture, etc.
California has some beautiful areas, too. What part are you in? |

I moved up here from the San Diego area 11 years ago.
Only thing I really miss is the Fishing. I can't believe how brown CA has become. |

I've been here for over 40 years now.
It's definitely not what it once was. The west side especially. As I grow older the weather beats me down more and more. I have always enjoyed my stays in California, and there are some beautiful places to live. Too bad the state has been politically destroyed. That being said, this one's not far behind. It is a little refreshing though to hear someone from somewhere else come to this state and say how much they enjoy it. |

Yup, Californians love them some WA, Water is wet, the sky is (sometimes) blue, and now so is the state.
Dont take it the wrong way, being a gun guy yourself, I'd welcome you, its just that we've got a ton of liberal people from CA who love it up here and move in, then procede to do everything they can to turn WA into CA. |

We were in a SF a couple of years ago shortly after that huge explosion at the Chevron refinery in Richmond. The weather in SF usually reminds me of the weather in Seattle. If I was a bazillionaire I wouldn't mind maintaining a beachfront vacation house in La Jolla or Malibu. But WA will probably always be "home". |

Been up here about 2 years after escaping from San Francisco . It's beautiful out here on the Olympic Peninsula I have a gun shop 2 blocks from my house a private 500 yd range down the road , a view across the Strait in the front and the Olympic National Forrest to the back .Plenty of fishing , hiking , hunting , foraging etc.... Now what I do miss about Cali is no annoying bandwagon Osprey fans , REAL MEXICAN FOOD , a fast lane that is used & IPA that isn't malted to death . Sorry about my rant

They fucked up the state and have been flooding (and destroying) WA, CO and OR. Fuck CA, I'm never living there again. |

I don't really know what to tell ya bud. I know that a lot of folks fucking hate Californians because we're all a bunch of stupid commie liberals who want to make shit-holes, but thats not really what I'm trying do or say here. You all have a beautiful free state and Id fight to keep it that way and make it better. |

I forgot this is the new and improved WaHTF.....where the running joke of "Washington sucks and it rains all the time" is no longer tolerated. That aside...yes Washington is a beautiful state...my wife and I love "exploring " ...just getting in the car and going wherever....but "wherever" is rarely in the Pugetropolis area. The peninsula will amaze you...and the east side of the state is so wide open.
and just because... On the east side.. 
North Cascades..
