Check Olympia and Bellingham out. Port Townsend is pretty rad as well.

I’m a WA native and hadn’t been to Port Townsend until a couple years ago. It was way more rad than I thought it would be.

Those property prices though...yeesh. Good luck finding a rental too. Great city that has no room.

There is a critical housing shortage in Bellingham. Directing people to move to Bellingham without qualification is not telling the whole story.

What qualifications are necessary before telling someone to move to Bellingham?

It was probably lost in translation. Text on the internet tends to do that. I definitely understand what you’re saying. I just visited Portland (moved away after living there for almost 2 years) and every street is packed with cars. Theres soo many people there!

Oh no, I completely agree with you, not the person you were responding to. The solution to a housing shortage isn’t telling people to stay away, it’s getting more housing built

They seem to want that in the Bay Area too, affordable housing… the only problem is they want that housing not anywhere near THEIR house… fuck
