Never move to a state till you spend a winter there.
Full disclosure- born and raised in CA, 20+ years in WA state, and 25 years in Hawaii.
Can’t stand the politics? Find a quiet hole to hide in like I did. Y’all can’t fix stupid, but you can work around it.
That’s getting harder to do here. The state is trying to implement a PER MILE tax of 2.6 cents per mile, with a 10% tax ON TOP OF THAT, along with one of the highest gas taxes in the country that you KNOW they will not repeal, even though they say they will. Right now they say it’s “optional”, but this IS Washington. They will go from reading your odometer when you renew your tabs to eventually requiring a GPS device, unless some serious reforms are made in our legislature. I just don’t see that happening here. Not to mention the idiotic “parents can’t tell their kids what to do after the age of 13” bullcrap bill they’re also trying to pass.
Or a summer vacation in the South 😂
