One thing to keep in mind with snow removal on sidewalks and the like that is kind of sad, many people apparently don't realize that removing all that snow makes it much worse to walk on, since it's cleared off down to pure ice. The sun comes out, and it's now an ice rink. The job ain't done till some sand or cinders and salt is laid down.

Totally agree (not just true for Cali either) In general, when your house goes up, so do the replacement houses, even across the country. I got caught up in that spiral in the 80's / early 90's. Talking with a friend in CO whose farm has gone up 20% in 3 years, he'd like to cash out but all the replacements have gone up a similar amount.
If you've lived in a house for more than 5 years, I'd wager it will take you a solid 3 months to get packed. I've been in my house for 15 years and shudder to think of moving. If I did, I'd be sorely tempted to call the movers and tell them to just make it happen, damn the cost.

We just moved into a rental until the new place is finished. Left a 12 acre place we owned for 11 years. We thought we clean out all the junk in the previous move - no way we did it all over again. There is a company called Everything but the House - it's an on line auction house. The Junk we were going to trash sold for over $6000 - they keep 35% but the rest was enough to pay for the move! Check them out as they are all over the country. Have fun

Well, I'm fairly certain that the weather in Seattle is vastly different from that of Kennewick. I have been to Seattle many times. Its reputation for raining all the time is a gross overstatement. But it does rain there more than probably anywhere on the eastern side of the state.
And, by the way, as everyone probably realizes, that rain is why Washington and Oregon are such beautiful states.

Thanks for posting the graphic. I knew the eastern side of the mountains was drier, but I had no idea by how much.

Same thing in Oregon. I have lived in the western valley and the coast - lots of rain. We moved to central (just East of the Cascade range) 17 years ago and am more than happy to go visit the rain and then come back to the dry side. I worked on the pass last night - fairly heavy rain low and snow above 4000 ft all night. At the end, I drove the 20 miles east to home and it was completely dry (and still is).
It is substantially colder in general, but my feeling is that you can dress for cold - you can try to dress for wet, but you will always get wet.
I see I'm in the light green zone.
