I live in a rural community just south of Olympia Washington called Rochester. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and boy what a difference. I love it here. The Chehalis river runs just the other side of the hill I live on. The scene from where I live is rolling hills and forest. The Rochester area is a mixture of hills, forest and flat pastures and fields. It's beautiful, quiet, and the people....well people are people. But it's very private so if you don't want to be bothered it's easy to get away. I am use to living near the ocean and it's not far away about a 45 minute to 1 hour drive and I can be in Aberdeen or Ocean Shores Washington. For entertainment there is the Lucky Eagle Casino or you can drive into Olympia (about 30 minutes) for great restaurants, shows, or anything else you want to do. In town there is a market, a mini mart, a gas station and various assorted small businesses that are friendly and provide a range of servcies from car repair to country cooking. So I guess for a city boy like me who like country living but misses the excitement of the city, it's perfect, I can be near the city without having to live in the city. When I come home I leave all the fast pace behind.
