That's awesome! Thanks for the offer!
I think I've mostly ruled out the east half of the state. Olympia was what I had in mind after doing about 3 minutes worth of research. My approach to moving across the country is rather clueless.
I think the primary consideration for me is going to be cost of living, so that's likely going to rule out Seattle and the surrounding area (based on my assumptions). Maybe not though... 🤷♂️For context, the median household income where I currently live is ~ $60k. When I looked up Seattle, it's just shy of double that.
Politically - I find the Democratic party to be a bit too conservative for my personal preferences.
I think I'll likely be able to retain my current job (which I like) when I move, but if for some reason that goes south, I also don't want to necessarily be a small fish in the huge pond. I work in IT, and I suspect that I'd be in the older half of the "people working in IT" population.
