Due to a large number of moving here posts we are creating a sticky for moving-related questions. This should cut down on downvotes and help centralize information.

​

Things to Consider

​

Location

​

  • Western Washington vs. Eastern Washington vs. Seattle Metro
  • Seattle Proper, suburbs, or other cities

​

Moving Here

  • Cost of Living (Food, fuel, housing!)
  • Jobs outlook for non-tech
  • Buying vs. Renting
  • Weather-related items, winter, rain

​

Geography and Weather

  • Rainy West Side vs. Dry Eastside
  • WildFire Season
  • Snow and Cold vs. Wet and Mild
  • Hot and Dry East Side
  • Earthquakes and You!

How walkable are Puyallup, Graham, South Hill, Frederickson, Summit, and surrounding areas? Is it necessary to have a vehicle? Is it safe to walk around there?
