    As for generators, off the top of my head I know that a basic unit can cost from $300-$500 depending on wattage and how it's powered (fuel, crank, battery etc.). I believe $250 is the lower end for a good one, and they can go up from there into the thousands. The main choice factors are how much power you need it to produce, and how it makes that power. :) My dad, for instance, has two - one propane driven higher wattage, and the other crank driven low wattage. As far as I know, the powerful one is for the freezer and heaters, the lower for small lights and such.

    Yakima!!! That's the name I was tryin to remember lol. That's where I drove to and then went back to Centralia then up to Olympia. I also visited Seattle and Vancouver (I have grandparents there). It was a really cool trip. I didn't want to leave.

    And would I be able to find good deals on generators at home depot or should I try to find a specific retailer for them? I literally have no experience with that type of machinery... I think the term is "noob" haha

    I'm in Kent. :) (for those who don't know, that's a nice suburban city about 20 miles or so south of Seattle). In the valley to be specific.

    And getting together would be awesome! We'd just have to be sure it was a good central local easily reached by bus. :) Can't drive.
