    I'm born and raised in Seattle and I lived in Bellevue for several years (moved there to be close to a job) and it might be only a few miles away from Seattle, but let me tell ya- it feels like a million miles. It's so freakin nice in Bellevue- there is no litter, no potholes in the streets, no junky shitty cars parked everywhere, no one has blue tarps covering stuff in their yard/driveway.. I could go on and on. The mall is actually nice and not scary and dangerous, it's just so nice. And they have SO much money to spend on cool stuff like parks, greens flowers and aesthetic things to line the streets, their Fourth of July fireworks show is amazing and their Christmas downtown deal is unbelievable. I don't know if they still do this, but when I lived there, for the whole month of December they would have the entire downtown area set up like a Christmas wonderland with huge giant NutCrackers and every hour on the hour they would come to life and there would be music and they would drum on their drums and dance and sing- and it would actually snow fake snow... every hour on the hour in this Christmas wonderland that encompassed the whole downtown area- it was absolutely unreal! I now live back in Seattle but I sure do miss Bellevue. Oh, and Mercer Island.. I sometimes will just drive around the neighborhoods and thru the twisting green foresty roads and look at the amazing houses and dream :)

    • @WriterandPhotographer
      @WriterandPhotographer Год назад +2

      It's actually VERY touristy. It has gotten so bad that locals are trying to find ways to reduce tourism, in a town that has an economy at least partly based on tourism. (3 to 4 million annually) But, it is one of the most spectacular places in the whole country. I have spent a lot of time there. As a longtime photographer, I have taken many 10-day photo trips there. Wrote at least one newspaper story about the place and offered AZ Highways a photo/article package. Since I started going there 30 years ago, it has become somewhat too overrun with tourists; a victim of its own beauty. I always got a kick out of taking a first-time guest up the 17 and then onto the 179 and watch their face when they got that first glimpse of those red rocks against a blue sky. Wow.

    I have lived in many cities and towns across the western United States. I enjoyed living in the smaller cities and towns. But I can tell you that my kids complained about living in a small town. As a parent I loved it. The high school was the center of entertainment, athletics were very popular. One of my favorite memories of living in Hoquiam Washington was every autumn when the high school band started practicing for their marching program. In the evening I could sit on my deck and listen to the band playing and marching down the back streets. It was just magical. In the autumn on Friday night you could hear the crowds cheering at the football stadium-and hear the band playing. I grew up there and knew every family on my route to elementary school. I lived two houses away from my first grade teacher. When I moved back there to raise my family, my kids lived just 3 houses away from their first grade teacher! And my kids knew almost every family on their school route. The school district NEVER lost a school levy, in over 50 years, the district had a winning record. The high school looks like a small college. The football stadium is a Registered Historical Site and holds 8,000 people, (the whole town has 8500). The schools are new- the oldest is 50 years old. The high school gymnasium holds around 3,000 people. The area is one of the most generous places I’ve ever lived. The community supports an incredible variety of charitable organizations and regularly gives of their time and money. I’m sure there are other small towns with similar positive points, but that’s why people should research before buying any home. Especially if you have kids. I’d rate schools as one of the most important items to research when moving into a new home.

      The whole Gray's Harbor area has come up lately but it's still a bit rough. I think if the film industry took an interest in Aberdeen it would be great. Fixed up that town could be a set for any era from the 20s to the 90s. Westport is where I learned to surf. Have you ever been to the Peruvian restaurant in town if not you should. I stop there every time I take the south route from Forks to I-5.

      My parents married in 1952. When my father returned from serving in the Korean war they had to decide where to move to and raise their family. Their primary criteria focused on towns with the best school systems. They choose Newton, Massachusetts which had excellent schools. When I went to Newton South high school in the 80s it was rated as one of the top 100 public high schools in the nation. So I agree with you: good schools are among the most important items to research when moving.

    I used to live in the Seaside, OR area and witnessed the transformation of Canon Beach. Back in the day it was a bit run down but the citizens got together and decided to homogenize the look of the buildings. That's when all the cedar shake popped up. Look into it Briggs it is sort of like what Winthrop Washington did or even Whitefish Montana. That'd be an interesting topic , towns that transformed on purpose.

    I drove through Arkansas this summer and most of the state was not my thing, but I loved Fayetteville. I walked and drove around a little and it is definitely a city with a lot of positive energy, and I agree in that I think it's going to get expensive. It's in a beautiful location, the economy appeared to be good and it was right there in the Ozarks. Well dressed southern yuppies were running around everywhere. My wife was not convinced that I was telling the truth, but, just like people who see UFOs say, I know what I saw.

    Briggs might want to add Ferndale, CA to his list. I spent 7 years there and it's like the 19th century. It sits right on the coast and it's the westernmost town in the continental US. It's just off the 101 behind the Redwood Curtain. In the summer, the sunset isn't till around 10 pm, and the fog rolls in about 7 so they have this thing called "the gloaming." It's spooky. Also, in Humboldt County, you can subsist entirely on food grown there. But, lots of "liquid sunshine."

    Interesting choices, I grew up near Los Angeles and have been to Monterrey and yes it is awesome but pricey. I went to college in San Diego so familiar with La Jolla as well. Of those 2, I would choose Monterrey as I lived in San Diego for 5 years and La Jolla is basically a very upscale San Diego neighborhood. I also lived in Dallas, TX for almost 2 years (did not like). I now live in Florida for about 20 years, loved it at first but it’s gotten much more crowded and hotter and more humid so I won’t retire in Florida. For me some places I would like to live short term (1 year or less) would be Key West, FL, Bisbee, AZ, Sedona, AZ, Astoria, OR, or Athens, GA. Although I enjoy visiting pricey big cities on vacation I would not want to live in one.

    I really appreciate this list. Actually I have sort of my own top 10 of what cities I would move to if money just was literally never an issue so it would include some of those expensive cities that I just would not be able to afford, but also some other ones as well. The thing is I've obviously not traveled as much as you have so my range would be a lot smaller. I'm from Northern California up in wine country specifically in Santa Rosa the largest city of wine country and the fifth largest city of the Bay area, but I have been out of the state as well just most the time if I'm taking trips it's still within california. Although there is a city that you stated that I would put on my list as well which is in fact monterey. I've been to Monterey I wouldn't say a whole lot but I've definitely been there and been to that general area.
    From childhood to teenager my family and I used to go to a camp that was around that area called a silimar which was a really nice place to go and I had made some friends there but unfortunately none of them I am still in touch with. Maybe if social media was a lot bigger back in the early to mid-2000s I would have still kept in touch with them but unfortunately no I haven't heard from them in a very long time which makes me kind of sad but still it was a fun time.
    I have been to a lot of States especially during the mid to late 90s when my family and I took a cross-country trip in our cars from California all the way to New York but really the only States I've actually spent an extended amount of time in besides California are Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and New York. I've only spent time in Oregon if I felt like taking the scenic route to get to Idaho instead of taking the fast route through Nevada so I definitely like Oregon but I don't think I spent enough time there to really think too much about that.

  • @matthewviramontes3131
    @matthewviramontes3131 Год назад +64

    I love this list, but I'd add a few caveats:
    *With Aspen, if you're not use to high altitude living, the lack of oxygen there may cause you some struggles physically and mentally. Also because of it's high elevation (8,000 feet) and it's moderately high latitude (39°N), it gets extremely cold and is cold quite often throughout the year.
    *St. George is one of the lowest elevation cities in Utah, and it's also lower latitude than most Utah cities because it's at the bottom of the state, so it gets very hot during the summer, and summers are longer than more northern cities in Utah. Also, it's Utah. Many things are closed on Sunday, you can't purchase lottery tickets there, you can only purchase hard liquor at state run liquor stores, weed is still illegal there, and there's a lot of unspoken racism. If you're not white, you will be judged, and maybe even berated. The first time I was ever told to "Go back to my country" was in Utah. The minimum wage is also extremely low there, employers are not required to give you breaks, and there's tax on grocery store food in Utah.
    *Cannon Beach seems to be very nice, I've done research about it myself and the aqi is usually good, temperatures are usually mild, etc, but it does seem to rain a lot there. Also, if you're like me and like shopping at Target, I don't believe there's one close, and I'm not sure there's a Super Target in the entire state.

      Cannon Beach is situational for a lot of people. It isn’t sunny very often. The last time we were there, I don’t think we saw the sun all week. (It was September.) The water is ice cold all year long. We went surfing in August and with fully suits head to toe, we were hypothermic after 30 minutes in the water. The local economy is depressed to say the least, and the coast is relatively isolated wrt getting to and from Portland. The Oregon coast weather might have milder weather than the Maine Coast, but the Maine coast is sunnier, you can swim sometimes, and the city is easy to get to. The cons of the Maine Coast are that the winters are long and brutal, and real estate costs are insane anywhere you go. You want a beautiful coastal home on a hard to access peninsula a mere 7 hours north of Boston? No worries; for $1.5mm, you can easily find one.
      That being said, I have been to the Tillamook/Manzanita area several times, and it is quite idyllic.

      It can get hot in Aspen in the summer. 80's to 90's. To stay cool most summers you need to be above 9000 feet. The oxygen is no problem for most people. Try above 10,500 then youre talking.

    • @matthewviramontes3131
      @matthewviramontes3131 Год назад +1

      @@Eric12358 There's a little more to it than just elevation though. Utqiagvik Alaska and Longyearbyen Norway are essentially at sea level (so very low elevation), yet their summer highs are just in the 70°F range. But that's because they're both very high latitude places. And then being on the coast helps too as opposed to being inland, that's why cities like Newport Oregon don't get hot very often, again, although that city doesn't have a high elevation.
