MossMan Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I want to stay near the coast (which pushes the prices up a bit). Found one house that would have been perfect, and was covered in about 4-6" of snow, but I need to figure out the job market first. I still need to pencil out our housing budget, property tax appears to be almost double what I am paying in B-ham. I pay about $4k in taxes, and it looks to be $7.5-8k for a house of equal value out there. I have a good friend who lives near Portsmouth on the NH/Maine border, and I plan to pump him for information. I don't really want to leave Washington State, but I am not liking the direction that Bellingham politics is going, and I really don't want to live or work in Seattle (even though I have applied to Alaska Airlines, Amazon and Microsoft). My wife and I are taking the next couple of months to figure things out. If we do stay, I might look into something down in Mossman's neck of the woods, or maybe up towards Tim's world there towards North Bend.This state is getting downright stupid with the current decision makers...Hopefully that changes. Going be an awful day if they get away with putting trackers on your cars/trucks and charging you by the mile that is supposed to replace the gas tax but you and I know that will not happen. Getting a little scary. Anyway with that said it’s hard to go wrong right now in my area, 5min drive to I-5 but you feel like you are way out away from it all...Not to mention the microclimate... it’s wonderful! 2 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

Requiem Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 On another (hopefully more analytical note) the Vancouver (B.C) area may need to watch out. EURO shows a crazy strong pressure gradient over the area on Thursday, with that model showing winds gusting upwards of 65 mph in spots. However, GFS shows next to nothing, so take it with a grain of salt considering the EURO lately. 1 Quote "Let's mosey!" --Cloud Strife ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Top 5 Snow Events (post 2014): (1.
