Being in the Military I've been to all four corners of the USA and then some.
I really really like the Pacific Northwest. Seattle and the surrounding areas are awesome. Sure, it rains alot, but when it isn't raining its frigging beautiful out here.
There is wheeling of every type 2 hours from Seattle itself. From dusty hillclimbs, to rock crawling, to snow wheeling, to sand dunes, to nasty mud we have it all.
There are lots of "grassroots" 4x4 competitions in the area to full on racing/rock crawls in the area.
The rubicon is a 16 hour drive from seattle. Johnson valley is a 21 hour drive if you are hardcore and have multiple drivers.
The coffee is great, they have burrito trucks everwhere. I go to the city itself for the Seahawks games and I always have a great time, never any trouble. It's the cleanest city I've been to.
Outdoor recreation a plenty; hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, wheeling..... it's awesome up here.
Oh, buy rain gear.
I would have to agree with this guy ^^ I moved here from the east coast and really all I can complain about is three things.
1) People are very introverted here compared to other places in the US
2) I miss real thunderstorms and lightening (but you dont get that anyways in cali so I guess you wont miss it)
3)The drivers here suck! Its called an interstate you dont merge at 35 and then accelerate to 60. you merge at 65 and slow down to match traffic!!!!:banghead:
Other than that I love it here. It is absolutely beautiful even on the rainy days. The summers are unbeatable. And there is literally something for everyone within days drive max.
Look into living in Woodinville if you can afford it, or Kirkland/Bothell. Both are very nice family oriented cities close to Seattle. And you will have me as your cable guy provided you get Comcast lol.atriot:
