Coeur d’ Alene
Boise. 2700 ft altitude. Winters aren’t as bad as you might think.
McCall, Idaho is stunning
Grim housing market in Kootenai County
There's a real estate bubble all over but here it may take a while before it pops. Still, it's a beautiful place.
My favorite spot in Idaho.....Wallace!!!
Our friends spoiled our fun and sold their vacation home, haaa!
Drove across country last year from WA.Nicest people I met were in Meridian ID.
I am also looking at restarting a side business that Washington HB1240 destroyed for me. Building high quality, high precision rifles. Cant do it in Washington anymore, Idaho is honestly the last free state in the country. Texas and Alaska once held that crown, not anymore.
The housing market is grim in north Idaho but I hear ProtectOurFreedom is renting out a room in exchange for clearing snow from his very long driveway all winter :) đ/
Paper mill? Nothing is more complex than making toilet paper. 8,000 pound rolls at 4,000 meters per minute. One every eight minutes. Then it has to be converted to consumer rolls and packaged. Port Townsend has a great mill. Jenks, and Soldenifil in Idaho. $40 /hour to start as a millwright, mechanic, electrician, or boiler operator.
CDA Rifle Club
Connect with a few of the listed club officers, one of them is bound to be a real estate agent.
They will roll out the red carpet for a man with your talents.
And they will give you the full scoop.
The range is a nice one, founded in 1951:
My daughter and SIL just moved from their gorgeous home on 20 acres in Priest River because so many people were moving in. City council now allowing 5-acre parcels, so it’s getting crowded there. So, if you don’t mind small land and dead animals from city people not slowing for deer, etc in road, Priest River is a possibility. Probably not as pricy as Coeur d’Alene.
Do you have a visa to enter the US?
there is a automation plant in the Sandpoint area that makes bar scan readers. as far as food processing stuff, you would be better employed in CDA. It has some very nice areas around it to commute from.
“industrial automation/millwright in food plants”
Food production would be in the southern tier of Idaho. You still have a couple lumber mills in the panhandle.
Corporate Automation Engineer in Idaho Falls. Close to Tetons, Jackson, Yellowstone, Cassia City of Rocks
Not sure if your millwright skills would be directly applicable, but the Kodiak Aircraft plant is in Sandpoint, and the last time I drove by they were hiring.
Too late. The californicators have taken over and Somalis are everywhere affordable. I have watched dumoy old houses go up 5 fold during the pndemic up north from californicators working remotely, There is not much of an industrial base in Idaho for automation work. Maybe the sugar beet processing plants but those are on the plains.
If you like potato’s then move to Idaho : )
Move to Asotin County (Clarkston) right across the bridge to Lewiston. Get the best of both worlds, no state taxes in Washington and by your gas in Idaho. They have mills there where you can get work. Here’s a link to Clearwater Paper employment website:
