When I moved here I braced for this 6 months of rain I would hear about. However, I have found over 3 years, there are always sunny days/part of days. I just learned to appreciate the breaks more and told myself you don't have to shovel rain! I did find it a little tough last year how long it took for spring/summer to show up, though.

We moved from the Alpharetta area. We lived there for almost 25 years

I really like how easy it is to get to anything from here: the airport, the.mountains, the ocean, Seattle. We looked around many different parts of WA before deciding on this area and we have never been sorry. Housing is more expensive than Georgia but we found this.area much cheaper than many other areas in WA. We love the cooler weather and have not found the rainy days too bad. Fyi: annual rainfall in Atlanta is higher than Seattle. Seattle just spreads it out more. PO is definitely a small town but there is pretty much everything you need on the peninsula.

That really depends what you are looking for. We moved to PO from Georgia about 3 years ago and love it. But we hated the weather and politics in Georgia so if you love these things in Georgia, you won't like it in Washi gton.
