Beautiful Place

I moved here 5 years ago to keep my career moving after a layoff in sunny Colorado, where I had lived for over 30 years. I was so afraid of the supposed gloominess that most people report. What I found was an amazingly beautiful place that I am thankful to be a part of. Yes, November through February is mostly cloudy and wet, but the trade-off is lush vegetation, gorgeous flowers, fresh air, and the Northwest climate...where it rarely gets much below 30 at night. The summers and fall are amazing. However, if what you want is lots of solar radiation...maybe another place would be more sutiable. Bothell is a clean, neat, attractive town with nice restaurants, plenty of jobs, and quick access to both ocean water and stunning mountains. It was a bit expensive I'll have to admit, but you don't have to live right in Bothell. There are outlying areas close by that are a bit more reasonable and still very nice. The taxes are high in comparison to the average, but not the worst by any stretch. I would recommend this place.
