You don’t want this type of job.

Do you have a specific part of the state you’re going to be in? That’s going to impact your choices. And the state itself is super varied on seasonal employment. Like there’s limited berries in yakima county (too hot) but all over skagit/Whatcom.

“The Northwest” is really like two different places in this state

I've been picking blueberries and potatoes as peicework for the past 15 years here in the northeast..are there reason you say I wouldn't want this type of job in the northwest?

In eastern wa where all the hops and cherries are… it’s 90F and sometimes hotter. If anything you want the warehouse sorter job. Western wa doesn’t get as hot but in eastern wa there’s a reason they bus people in on work visas to do the picking.

Blueberries and potatoes? You want Whatcom and Skagit counties. Housing is super expensive, though.
