You will love Washington. Granted, I am from Iowa, but I have been to Seattle many times over the last 7 years. I really contemplated about moving myself about two years ago. I had a plan and even looked into jobs and all. I have been to the Seattle, Tacoma,and Lacey area. But, I guess with most of my family here, I decided not too, also had been at my job for 12 years. But, if I ever win the lottery I am off and traveling and Washington is at the top of the list. I loved the culture and the scenery is amazing. I have so many fond memories of my visits. Think I am going to have to plan a visit again myself this year.

Best of luck on your decision.
