I'm a special education teacher in Orange, CA.
I've lived my whole life in California. I recently got married and just had a son. We are wondering if we want to move somewhere...but where?

Bellingham, WA

how is it? - 2/26/2009
I am born and raised in southern California but a few things have just gotten out of control: traffic, smog, cost of living and the harsh temperatures in the summer. I was just wondering if anyone up there could give me a little info on your neck of the woods. I would really appreciate any info as I know no one up there.

I would like to be in a medium sized town. Not out in the “boonies” but also not downtown. Perhaps close enough to drive into Seattle to catch a game or musical or whatever. Since we just had a kid I’d like him to have a safe yard to play in. Don’t mind the rain but don’t want a lot of snow in winter.

My concerns would be:

How are the people? I find So. Cal people to be superficial and not very friendly.
How often does it rain? Is it really that bad?

Thanks a ton!

re: Good Neighborhood ... The Lakes - 10/14/2006 - 2/8/2009
I am currently in southern California and looking for a “better” place to live. Reasons that we are considering moving:
- too expensive
-too much traffic
- too hot in summer
- not enough “greenery” due to too little rain
- too much traffic
- no seasons
- people are often not that friendly

There are positives of course but, for me and my family, I think it’s time for a change. Could you tell me how your city stacks up?

Thanks so much

I currently live in Orange County (right under Orange Hill) and am thinking of moving. Advice? How cold are the winters? How are the people? How about the air? Traffic?
thanks

Nicely put! I too am from California and for various reasons want to leave. Spokane seems nice although various sites disagree about how much snow you guys get. How are the winters? How are the people?
thanks
