I am not, but I feel your pain. I am from Western New York, a part of the state that is totally different from New York City, and is totally neglected.

Bellingham

^^^yay another one

You seem to be excluding anything on the east side of Puget Sound. Wonder why? I mean, Seattle proper cannot be considered central Washington. I think if it's west of the Cascades, that's definitely Western Washington.

That being said, I don't live there. I lived in and around Seattle for a decade in the 80s, though. I clicked on this thread for a nostalgia trip. Lived in Seattle proper, Shoreline (just north of Seattle), and Bellevue. Oh, also Ballard. (Technically a neighborhood of Seattle - but somehow its own place.)

We often visited with relatives in Everett, Lynnwood, and Sequim. Caught Dungeness crabs in the water at Sequim!

^^^did you consider living in sequim? popular retiree destination, very little precip compared to the rest of the state. I perhaps shortsightedly left out the east because it is such a LOOOOoooonnnnnggg drive over the mountains and across the plains to get to places like Spokane and Walla Walla and such. if I could change it i'd make it ALL of Washington.

No, by the time I retired I had lived in another state for 25 years but yes, it is nice there. Our relatives in sequin grew artichokes!

Sequim is prolly the northernmost area in CONUS that has two growing seasons, due to the 300 days [average] of sunshine each year. they have an irrigation festival there because of the relative paucity of rain up there.

You forgot the ice cream!

KK has the power

but KK was referring to the fact that I forgot to include an ice-cream option in the poll like I normally do

Use to live there, miss it.
