People think moving to Washington is #1 are truly inept. If you love overcast weather for 9 months out of the year, if you love knowing that your summers will still have overcast weather and there’s a chance the sun won’t happen that year, and that you will be enduring forest fires and freak weather (115F) more often in the future… sure, go for WA. I know people who grew up in AZ and want nothing more than drizzly rain and overcast weather and to stay indoors 99/100 days because they grew up in 120f weather with a baking sun and decided to become a vampire. If you’re not them - it’s not great. If you don’t love overcast weather - it’s not great. Again - it selects a certain personality. People who love rain, hate snow, and hate sun. Source: lived there and now live in SF. Would not recommend Washington. (Or Portland or Oregon in general) Truth is - if you’re wanting to leave CA because you want real change - probably move to the east coast. It’ll be quite different. Living in the PNW will be the same but more shitty weather. (If you’re a vampire - go for it…)
