Living In Washington State - 3/7/2009
I came to Washington State, with my parents, back in the 70's. I have watched this state change from a Open Space area to urban overgrowth. The cost of living has steadly raised year after year and the inflation factor is totally out of control right now. Unless you have a high tech job you aren't going to get ahead in Washington.
I love the greenery and the range of land, sea, water, and mountains that is reachable, within per hours of each other. I hate the way rules and regulations have taken over and the govern that's been in place for the last 10 years is ruining the greatest of Washington State.
Hopefully, it will not come to the same thing that happened in the 70/80's, where a billboard read "The Last Person Out, Please Turn Out the

Relocating to Washington for Chicago in April - 10/3/2008
Getting discouraged, But I still want to move to Washington State?
I am a African American female with 4 kids (aging from 16 female, 11 female, 9 male, 7 female) and I have a husband. I have section 8 and ready to relocate to Washington from Chicago in April of 2009. What is making discourage is finding a nice area with good to excellent schools. I haven't been to Washington in about 17 years so I was not there long to enough to get to know the State. But my friend is there and she is suggesting that I live in nice area that she think is nice but being on different sites I am finding that it really not so nice. I don't want to relocate to put my kids in crappy school or to live in unsafe neighborhoods if that's the case I might as well stay in Illinois. But what cities are Black and white (that have mix race) friendly and not prejudice also with good paying jobs. Not mention safety for me and my children. My husband does have skills like grave digging and rehabbing houses and I
