I thought so too... But there's honestly no issues with the entire apartment in any capacity. He freaked out last year when the driveway cracked he thought there might be foundation issues but three separate companies came and did a bunch of testing on his property and they found absolutely zero foundation issues. They even came and look inside of his apartment in the main house and like it was fine.

A lot of old crusty bikers are out on Vashon

There is not....he had it checked last year when the drive way cracked. That was ruled normal with no need for concern by three different companies who looked at the driveway and foundation of the house

East Tennessee is underrated

Yeah, when I was in college I hated being put into group assignments with people from Lynden because they would never meet on a Sunday.

I have been in 32 of our states, and 9 foreign countries. The only place I’ve seen, so far, that compares to here is Switzerland.

All the way!!

I currently live in Reno. I'm just a short 20 minute drive from Tahoe. I love the lake and surrounding forests. Not a bad drive to Yosemite either

Wife grew up here and moved to Hawaii with a friend. Friend is still in Hawaii over a decade later, and we’re back here. I think she was in a similar boat and loved it enough to come back, but enjoyed the adventure of Hawaii.

If you’re young, explore. You never know what’s out there if you don’t look.

Utah has some of the coolest national parks in the country.

Terrible idea. Don’t bill, count or list it as a living space. Check “no” on the form 17 that says have you obtained permits for all remodels. If anyone asks tell them it’s an unpermitted remodel it’s not living space it’s never been a problem there’s no discounts considered and if they can’t accept those terms as what is offered for sale then move on.

Getting “right” with the code enforcement will likely require a tear out of drywall and redo if you’re lucky. Maybe also electrical and framing.

Join yhe Navy, see the world.

I made the mistake of mowing my ex-in laws lawn once on a Sunday. I didn't know this was looked down upon. How dare you do anything but go to church and spend time with your family.

Banff, AB

Estes Park, CO

Bend, OR

Jackson, WY

All of Alaska

Been to all of these places and they’ve all been unique in their own way. Go and travel and see what you like!

You’re being paranoid. Do not request a retroactive permit. No need to report yourself for something nobody is likely to notice. Lots of houses are bought and sold with work done by the owners themselves that do not have the proper permits, and they pass between many many owners without anything happening.

I bet there's foundation issues!

The western half of Canada is very similar but way larger. Provincial parks in Canada feel very similar to our national parks.

Alaska

Maine

Northern California

Western Wyoming/western Montana

North Idaho

My wife and I talk about this all the time. Nowhere in America, save Hawaii, could be better. (We don't want to move to Hawaii for a few reasons, but cost is the big one.)

When it warms up from climate change, Alaska might be in the running, but I think we're stuck unless we want to leave the country.

(I came from Colorado, btw - 20 years there - it's great but.. it's not as good. Mainly because we're green, they're brown.)

Go travel and figure it out. Northeast is nice, people love Colorado. Utah seems to be getting popular. Northern CA has redwoods. Google places and travel. Also, try out places that are out of your comfort zone and see how they feel. If you move somewhere and don't like it, move somewhere else or back to WA. WA isn't going anywhere.

You have to expand on what ‘new things’ means to you. The world is large and there are many places just as beautiful. What is it that you want to see and experience?

Wow, that could be a problem.
