Crime and cost of living in your area.

West by God Virginia.... Doors unlocked... heavily armed citizenry. :thumbsup:

But as I told a friend from the PNW... That WA OR region is a different lifestyle from the rest of the world. Everything is a tradeoff.

Hope you find the panacea you seek.
It’s beautiful up here. I’m not sure I fit in with the typical PNW lifestyle, but I sure love the weather and scenery.
