For the last couple of years I have been looking at relocating out of North Kalifornia (aka Washington State), the political climate and values I hold dear are no longer recognized or respected. I cannot hold onto the hope that the Idaho boarder shifts my way.
Texas was my first choice, then I remembered how many poisonous crawlers live there, and honestly I need my mountains, evergreen trees and snow. Alaska really is the state for me. It will pain me to leave my mountain (Mt. St Helens).
For years I have felt a calling to Alaska, not just because it is the second freedom state, but because of the opportunities it has, I am an outdoorsman, so it checks the box for hunting and fishing, I love metal detecting/gold panning as a hobby. I love taking out my 4 wheeler and snowmobile and getting stuck in the snow. But I also want to own a home and land, as a single income man, home/land ownership is no longer feasable in southern Washington.
As I said, Alaska has been calling me, if there are any Freepers in the Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage area that might have a possible lineup for work opportunities I would love to hear from you, either public or private message if you want to keep anonymous.
My primary background is maintenance in food processing plants, however I specialize in industrial controls and automation. It should not be hard to find work, but I need a sure thing to pack up life and make a bold move. In a few years, my daughter, her husband and the grandkids are looking to move there as well, it would be nice to be established ahead of time to give them a foundation and soft start.
Suggestions, employment contacts, employment agencies etc would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking myself, but in a narrow window.
Thank you.
Ping. I might tag along!
Bears. Plenty of ‘em.
Study the weather. Learn as much as you can about the weather.
The libs and fricken state RINOs have made damn sure you will never vote again. Inslee has allowed the state to take hour kids and give them sex changes. It as a well orchestrated plan set up by the WEF. Why I say the WEF? Because their exact agenda is what its being shoved down our children’s throats. Any conservative here has to think about the long haul, being able to grow food and not have it taken away by the state. Also having access to water. Damn, I never thought America would fold so fast but here we are.

MAKE AMERICA FLORIDA!
There’s always Finland 🇫🇮. Finnish is strange, but logical.

Always interested so many Alaska residents own a second home in Hawaii. I gather airfare is good, but seems a pricey arrangement.
It does not matter who becomes president. Unless there is a revolution of some sort, clear this state of the corrupt uniparty members, nothing will change.
I live in a more conservative area of Washington State and the taxes will eventually send us to the poor house...but I can't really move because I have dtr that moved north of us from Portland and a son and grandchildren across the state...
otherwise, I'd be out of here.
Thank you, I have skills with PLC5’s to Studio 5k as well, I love those bulletproof dinosaurs (PLC5’s), unfortunatly I don’t have a degree or formal education which makes me have to fight harder for a position. I learned programming through discovery and had to teach myself coding from C to java and now Python. Had to learn structered text for Ailing-badly and scripting for Redlion.
“show no skin grafts” — HEH, HEH. Do they make you roll up your sleeves and pantlegs?
Don’t bother, Anchorage is San Fran North. The Muni spends 7 Million/month on the “homeless”. Beggers on damn near every corner. Lots of nice and violent drug gangs....
Do yourself a favor, move someplace worth living.
And I DO live in Los Anchorage....
Too cold and too remote. If you are looking for something similar, people said Idaho is better. I wouldn’t know, though.
Spelling, was suposed to be Any but fat fingers on a small phone.
RS Logix 5000 and its compatable Kinetix motion control is really good stuff. Easy to self teach too.
The only programming I find awkward in 5000 is structured text. It can be figured out but I just don't like it.
Fun fact as well. Skamania county during the logging era before the spotted owl crapshow, generated more tax revinue than King County, with having only 5% of the population that King County had at the time.
Wow, thats a list, thank you for that, I will reach out to see if they can give me just a step up on the ladder or point me towards a path. Thank you.
If you’ve ever been arc flashed you know of what I speak. Always be suited up working in MCC Rooms and yards. I had a lot of 4160 volt Eaton buckets housing motor starters.
I hate structured text as well, it murders the cycle rate, if you want structured text, get an industrial PC to do it, not a PLC that is designed for simple true false.
Recommend looking at the on line lists of jobs at the state and federal levels.
usajobs.gov and the state’s equivalent listings
Good Luck!!
