Vacation vs Living Here - 3/31/2008
Kalispell is a great place to vacation if you like outdoor recreation or beautiful scenery. But if you’re thinking of moving here be prepared: there are definitely not 151 sunny days – there are about 70 (trust me, I’ve been here for years - and check the chamber’s page too). Kiss the stars goodbye – it’s always cloudy. Expect to miss all wonderful astronomical events because of this. The Flathead Valley has only 6 weeks of true summer weather (shorts & tshirts) – beyond that you will be wearing jackets and pants at some point every day or you will be cold. Lakes and rivers don’t get real warm, even in the summer. Winters are mild, but it’s definitely a long, dark season with short daylight hours, and thick cloud cover – expect to have SAD most of the year. Job opportunities are limited, and often seasonal. People with college degrees can expect to do work that does not require a degree. The cost of living (especially housing) is expensive in comparison to average earnings.

Can't wait to leave - 1/26/2008
Cliquish, clannish, SAD, conservative, good ole boys, maniacs w/ guns; easy to see why the Uni-bomber made Montana

Ho-hum - 1/9/2008
Kalispell is a safe, easy going place to raise a family. Be prepared to compete for your wages and your home though, as the job market and cost of living are unfavorably skewed. Logging and construction are big industries here, as well as tourism, but the economy comes to a screeching halt during the winter. There isn't much for a social scene, and the public is fairly close minded. All in all, it's boring and a bit depressing here, but the wilderness is nice. It's just hard to make friends

Kalispell-Western Montana - 3/25/2007
It is a beautiful place to live but very expensive. The wages need to catch up with the cost of living. It is a clean city low crime and close to lots of beautiful and remote recreation areas. Great if you have the money and a good high paying job. Dianna
