the beauty of washington state is it has just about every kind of weather, so pick your location and enjoy your weather if you want temperate and dry, it's hard to beat northeastern clallam county [port angeles/sequim].

Have a passport? -- visit Vancouver, BC. A city that gets "high marks" amongst visitors and residents alike; Vancouver offers that awesome urban experience (without too much of the "big-city" stimulus). A ferry-ride to visit Victoria BC is also a must.

Actually, Vancouver was my #1 choice to live but I feel, as an American citizen, that I wouldn't be allowed to live there by the Canadian government. Plus, I feel my American government wouldn't let me hold a dual American/Canadian citizenship. I'd have to apply for a passport, but I think they are worth a visit too. Who knows?

Seconding the go visit Vancouver/Victoria.

you ARE allowed to have dual US Canadian citizenship. Now, depending on the state of your health (for the love of god do NOT tell them you're aspie), you MIGHT be allowed to immigrate. If you have significant health problems, however, (Pre-existing conditions), and can't hide them, you probably won't succeed.

CartoonConsumer, I grew up in Skagit County and my recommendation would be to try Mt. Vernon. It's a little bigger than Burlington, and Sedro Woolley, plus Woolley is right at the foot of the Cascades, and when it's not raining it can still be socked in with clouds for weeks!

Western Washington is a beautiful state, but the weather can take a little getting used to.

Haha yeah I know about the Sedro Wooley with the clouds. It's kinda neat though sometimes.

need to add one thing, I lived in cali but visited family in Seattle several times.. WA is NOT friendly to people from California,, I even got a speeding ticket there based on my California tags..they don't like cali people moving up there,, just a warning,, its gonna be hard until u establish yourself and ur aspergers wont make that any easier..

The trick with rural Washington is putting out signals that you aren't a condescending Seattleite there to sneer at them. An NRA bumper sticker works well, or at least a camouflage cap or something. People warm up pretty quickly once they feel you out a little
