Have you ever been there? It's a depressing shithole, like all coastal towns whose economies have disappeared.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have you ever been there? It's a depressing shithole, like all coastal towns whose economies have disappeared. Yes I've been there, and I'm fully aware that there isn't much left on the coast. However, I'm retired, and I'm sick of living in metro Seattle. Don't want to live on the dry side, and I'm unwilling to leave the state due to family reasons and overall stubbornness. I've been looking at Skagit and Lewis counties, but Aberdeen could be the most cost effective option. It's like Sedro Woolley with waterfront.  |

Have you looked in Kitsap? Close enough to everything but pretty much no traffic and quiet most of the time.
If you need even more remote, try Jefferson County. |

I was really surprised the last time I drove through Aberdeen (May of this year). For the last four years or so every time I drove through it looked abandoned and all the buildings were boarded up and empty. But last time was completely different. Tons of people and cars and everything was open and looked significantly better.
I'm sure it's still pretty shitty, but it seems improved recently. |

If you cross the bridge and start heading towards Westport, there's a few nice places outside of town.
I have family in both Westport and Aberdeen and have watched the area degrade over the years. Great salmon fishing in Westport take me there nearly every summer. There are 3 seasons in that area: hunting, fishing and unemployment. Check out this site for more info. https://www.areavibes.com/ |

I moved away from there in 1996 when I was 12. It was depressing traveling back there over the years to see family and seeing what a shithole Aberdeen became. There are still some good people there, but I don't think I could ever move back there.
The weather really sucks there. If you think it rains a lot in Seattle (40in/ yr), Aberdeen gets like double the rain (83in/yr). Aberdeen starts at 4:10  Failed To Load Title |

I would not go any farther out that way than Montesano or Elma.

This time of year the weather out West can be kind of nice. Tuesday, it was 57 degrees and sunny in the hills between the Johns and Elk river, by the time I got to Rochester it was 87.
