Reply to What are the towns Tacoma and Olympia like? by Kaabiiisabeast

Great suggestions so far; I'll add one. Check out the Alpine Village Apts. in Tumwater on "T" Street. They have studios, my son lives there, and it seems like a decent complex based on the few times I've visited there. They don't show prices online so you'd have to call. That would give you at least an idea of rent and you can go from there. Tumwater is the town just south of Olympia and that location is a straight shot to Olympia's Downtown/Old Town/Capitol area.

I've never lived in Oly but have always enjoyed visiting. They recently built a waterfront boardwalk, and have a nice old town and farmers market. And it's close to nature!

I was going to suggest that too. Spokane (great suggestion TriscuitBob!)

Vancouver, where I live, but housing is also getting real expensive due to demand and low inventory. You have urban and suburban options as well as small towns on the outskirts of Clark County.

Olympia or Tumwater if you want to be close to Seattle (My son and his SO share a studio apt in Tumwater and I've always liked visiting Oly.)

Oregon: Eugene/Springfield, Salem, Corvallis, Medford. Or a couple of Portland Suburbs I like as long as you work close by is Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, or Tualatin.

Reply to Stayed at a cabin in Plain, WA. This was one night of snow. by DriedUpSquid

I rented a cabin in Plain back in late Sept. (2021) right on the river. Loved it! 1st time I've been to that part of WA and 1st time traveling on Hwy. 2 and Steven's Pass. We live in Clark County and have EZ access to another beautiful part of the state, the Columbia River Gorge.

Thanks for sharing.
