Coastal Washington is also well positioned to be a climate haven, though it would need to proactively plan for an influx of people as it's a bunch of small towns, national parks and rural areas.
The ties between Coastal Washington and Southern Alaska could also stand to be strengthened.

- DoreenMichele 3y agoI run a sub for trying to foster better information for people wanting to take temporary or seasonal jobs in Alaska. Alaska needs teachers, truckers and seasonal workers for the fishing industry. I think there is substantial room for helping both Alaska and other parts of the PNW to address their various needs by improving connections and information flow. I just don't know how to singlehandedly architect it or I would be starting various businesses rooted in that goal.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoI'm unsure what your current goals are, but perhaps consider a role in one of these orgs when the time is right to align with this mission: https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/ https://aedcweb.com/ https://aedcweb.com/ If you're in the Washington area, there is a Seattle office of the US Economic Development Administration: https://www.eda.gov/archives/2016/contact/#seattle https://www.eda.gov/archives/2016/contact/#seattle Wishing you the best in this endeavor.
