Oh OK RCG, you're right, yes the pension is federal.

A close friend's parents lived in Vancouver and we visited often. Loved the place.

Re: Want To Move to Washington State This Year. Need Insight.

Hi there,

My niece lived for years in Bainbridge Island, and absolutely loved it. Due to the fact that she went back to school to become a naturopathic dr. she is now living in Seattle, where she is attending the best school in the country for this. She can walk to downtown where she is living, takes her (old) car to school. Visits Vancouver, and her other friends.

What is good to know and naturally I heard this from her, is that this state has an outstanding health coverage and thus, feels it is great to live there. Her parents recently moved to CA, but before they made their decision, my niece was almost begging them to live in WA instead, due to the excellent health care. Just in case this means anything to you?

Wishing you all the best.

The Seattle Tacoma area was too gloomy gray and rainy for us....we left in 89, have not gone back. Good luck in your search, hope you find that spot you are looking for (:

If you plan to live in the city of Seattle proper you can expect to spend BIG bucks, whether buying or renting.

Thank you all so much for your great information about WA. Seattle is beautiful but too far from Portland and too $$$$. Nice for a long weekend. I would be renting for the 1st year to see if it all works out. Again thanks to everyone of you!
