Review of Port Orchard, Washington


It's a long way from California...
Star Rating - 7/12/2009
My husband and I moved here about a year ago in search of affordable housing after find nothing in our price range in the San Francisco bay area. While we did find a big, family-friendly home in Port Orchard, we are still struggling to adapt to the weather, culture, and size of our new community. The biggest issue is weather. Everyone knows it rains a lot up here around Puget Sound. What we did NOT know is that when it does finally stop raining, the sun doesn't come out in its place. It's just gray...most of the time. Clouds and dreariness. Put that together with lots of pickup trucks and no good thai food and you get an idea of why we miss our beloved Cali.
