Curious where you hail from.

I lived in Arkansas my whole life but always wanted to visit the PNW. Had a friend living out here so finally visited in summer of 2017. Rainier, Baker, ferry rides, whale-watching, Olympics, Hoh Rainforest, roasting marshmallows on the coast... an alien world for this land-locked southern boy.

I moved within a year and never looked back.

I’m from Florida so I’m also a southern gal. Seriously considering moving to WA after college so this is encouraging!

How did you afford it?

Getting to rent from the friend was certainly a big help. Unless you got tech skillz I think you'd be hard-pressed to make the jump on a single income.
