Too liberal for my tastes plus the majority of my customers are steel, cement and mining companies of which there are not a lot there. We also do quite a bit of work in pulp and paper but that industry is dying in the Northwest. I do have family across in BC though which would be nice. Let's just say it's not on my short list.
LOL....there are pockets of conservatives in Western WA, mainly near the military bases and on the islands!
Your wish list is pretty hefty :)
You want near your trade & major customers, near ski mountains, taxes low, right leaning neighbors, airport accessable, convenient to Canada border hopping visits,great university. Will weather factor in?
This reminds me of a conversation with a girl who was looking for "Mr. Right"....after hearing her requirements I suggested she not discount "Mr. Reasonably Close"
Seriously, hope you find a just right place!
