We have had it with Washington state. Property taxes are crazy, 10% sales taxes, $300 car license, toll lanes and LIBERALS. I am a 3rd generation Washington native and they have finally driven us out. We love the weather and the natural surroundings, salmon fishing and crabbing, but we can’t stand the political correctness and the constant efforts to get into our wallets. We looked at New Hampshire but I am told it snows there sometimes!
You just missed the Apple Blossom Festival which is their big annual shindig. Do you like Patsy Cline?
It’s a nice town with good schools and enough to keep you entertained. Close enough to DC to do day trips.
Just west of town is a small lake community, Lake Holiday, which never really took off but, that makes it better in my view. Not too far from the actual town but, not in the sticks.
Our mountains are just hills compared to Washington and we do get 4 seasons. Lots of history and a good mix of activities.
We live on the coast now. Hampton Roads area.
