Well we are currently in Wa state due to the Navy and San diego before that.....
And I would gladly stay up here FOREVER!!! (Silverdale, WA) We are originally from Tampa FL. And even after a year of being here I still love everything!! The views are fabulous and there is so much stuff to do! We are outdoor people and love going hiking and just being outdoors in general and we take our dogs everywhere! This is a very friendly dog state that we have seen. I even like the weather. Like did you know there really are FOUR seasons every year! LOL, seriuosly FL doesnt! And everybody thinks it rains all the time here, so not true!
Being military I really dont know about the jobs here. But the is a big Boeing Factory that everybody talks about.
Groceries are definately cheaper here than CA. Our car insurance dropped in half!! We live on base but our friends have a 1200 sq foot apartment and they pay $800 a month. Cable is the same as CA. Our cell phone service is the same.
I love Pikes Place Market! Canada is only a little boat ride away. Ferries are so much fun to ride on (thats how we get to Seattle)! Loads of skiing here. Tulips start growing in Feb and it looks just like Holland!
Here's some pic I took this year!
