Yeah, I agree. As I like to call them "206ers" Many transplants from California and Oregon. I was born and raised in Washington state and have lived all over the state. I am now retired for all intents and purposes and could easily move back to my birth city of Spokane, although it is suffering from the ills of the rest of the country. Population increase and creeping liberalism. By SE Washington I was referring to an area from the tri cities east to the Idaho border and as I said, I am a fan of Spokane. I also like the Walla Walla area but it is getting pretty ritzy for a low fixed income retiree.
In all honesty I may already be in one of the best Washington areas to retire, 98837. Center of the state and four seasons in an agricultural based culture and economy and lots of car guys!
