Thinking of moving to PNW

[Ryann]

Seattle traffic sucks ass.

I lived just east of Seattle for a little and didn't like it. Everyone acted like they were entitled to everything. But for living there during the fall and winter months, it wasn't that bad. I was able to still enjoy doing things. But I missed the more relaxed vibes of the Portland area. So I just had to move back. Housing was more expensive in Washington for me than it has been in Oregon. Meanwhile, I found a job easier in Washington than Oregon. But it all depends on what kind of work you do or what you would be willing to do. And there are many colleges in the Portland area. :)

Everyone on the eastside thinks they are worth $150K a year....

Haha eastsiders don't count as washintonians though. Whole other breed over there.

Cali drivers are worse than the PNW from what I have heard...like 5mph crawl on I5 when it is light rain. Or a complete ghost town on the freeway because people are that scared of going out in it.

not quite true, most cali drivers dont do 60mph on the freeway, they go ~80. I go apeshit here because prius drivers are cruising a calm and cool 55mph in the fast lane and refuse to gtfo my way! :hitler:

One not, EVERYONE in the Seattle area is Overeducated, so don't expect it to be easy to find jobs if you don't have a degree of sorts.

This is dead wrong. By no means should you expect a job with a an AA in art appreciation but a technical degree will leave you with plenty of opportunities with all the engineering/science companies in the area(Boeing, Microsoft and many smaller tech companies). And it's over-educated.

Get a degree that takes some skill and effort and then get paid.

That would be so awesome.

Agreed. I would kill for this when it "rains" lol

Most of the PNW can't drive in rain.

LOL you have a valid reason though.

[Pdxseth]

So true, ZOMG a fucking drop of water hits the ground, let's all lose our minds and forget how to fucking drive.

Drop of water hits the ground....I park and walk home.

As soon as clouds come you must dock your speed by 20mph according to most...
