Wonder if I can afford a water view somewhere in Washington State.
Property is probably cheap in SD.

Any place you find make sure you aren’t too far from a good hospital. 30 min drive is good. You’ll need it when older. In Seattle don’t go where you need a ferry to get to everything, you’ll hate it.
If you like Donuts and coffee, blue star donuts is a fun place to visit.

Anybody ever go to Great Bear Lake?

I think it would be interesting to check that out, someday.

Never been there. Looks a bit cold but could be beautiful. What's nearest villages/towns there if any, doesn't show any.

Near Seattle:
Read the actual state guidelines for implementation of the mask mandate (below). You will find that they do NOT require a business to refuse customers who are not wearing masks, or to harass them in any way. They do not require any proof of inability to wear a mask, even from employees. They do NOT protect businesses from discrimination lawsuits for denying service to those with disabilities or damages caused by forcing a mask on an individual. They actually only require a “good faith effort” on the part of a business.
We have heard of businesses receiving threats and fines from Health Departments and Labor & Industries. It’s going to take businesses standing up to these threats and appealing fines as frivolous and unlawful.
Note: You really have to like rain to live up there. Your wife too!

Is it any different from east coast rain?
Even in the dead of winter in Jan/Feb, there have been numerous days where it's both bright and sunny but with frigid temperatures in the 20s.
I forgot about that, but yes, I remember that it can be brutally bright in the winter when there is sunshine on new snow.
I personally like drizzle and clouds. Maybe I'm a mutant, but it makes me happy to see it rain.
First I'll check out Olympia, because I have some relatives there. Then Sequim, Port Townsend, and Bellingham.
Bellingham has the nice feature of being on the train line between Seattle and Vancouver, but I don't really know how the town is.
Anyone have advice for nice places to look at? I've been up around there 4 or 5 times, but never really got to know it.
Of course I'm partly motivated by the absence of income tax in Washington State. But it also looks very beautiful, and I happen to like rain.
All comments appreciated.
