r/SwitzerlandIsFake

Go to Texas; Vote in blue; Come back.

I was born and raised in Alaska. Give that a go!

I’m from Colorado. Mountains and trails are something else here and camping has always been my best memories. 300 days of sunshine too.

I’ve been very lucky to grow up here and I’m in the same position of wanting to leave and do new things. Washington is actually plan currently. Saving up to move 2024.

Great pic!

Of what? 😂

I know, but the advantage there is people actually know how to drive in it and they’re good about clearing streets and sidewalks. Even with way more snow it’s way better than the minimal snow we get here.

Gorgeous

Bremerton is cool. It's not super duper liberal like Seattle because it's a mix of navy folk, working class, but also transplants from liberal cities like us. It's a lot more diverse outside of major cities. I prefer it here to Seattle because I don't want to live in a liberal bubble where everyone thinks the same way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Even if you might not agree with some folks, overall people are polite and kind.

There's enough minorities and visibly LGBT folks for it to feel safe, and lots of openly progressive businesses too. Port Townsend is beautiful and a hippie town but it's sooooooo homogenous imo. Lots of older white people.

Give Northern Arizona a try. Flagstaff is in the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world, and is bordered to the north by a sacred strata volcano. It is the first STEM community in the US and the first Dark Sky City. Northern Arizona University provides funding for research, and the USGS has a large presence as well. The Grand Canyon south rim is an hour away for hiking, and Flag has a large river rat presence in town too. Sedona is 45 mins away off of the Mogollon Rim (the Southern edge of the Colorado plateau), and offers amazing red rock hiking and vortex Crystal magic if that is your thing. There is a large influence of the Navajo, Hopi and other tribes. I could go on and on. It’s a special place and the housing prices reflect that. It has been called “poverty with a view” by locals for more than a decade.

Oh, and AZ is the 3rd most bio diverse state in the union given its large elevational gradient and mixtures of different ecosystems like the Sonoran, Mojave, Colorado Plateau, Basin and Range, sky islands… also some of the birds found in the extreme south eastern portion of the state can be found no where else in the country so it’s a Mecca for birders as well.

The ferry there is super duper inconvenient. Delays are inevitable and sometimes you have to wait for hours just to get off the island.

If I find him.. it’s kept secret

Yes! Just slide my window on open and that’s across from me :) I did crop out my neighbors for privacy’s sake but it’s my every day view!

I moved from Las Vegas and stayed and visited many other states. There’s nowhere like the pnw. I love it here.

It’s weird because this year has been pretty dry! It didn’t rain almost all summer and well into October. We did get some snow but the rain has been pretty light since oddly enough! Just realllly windy!

I wish!

Do it! Our town isn’t crazy special but we do have the world’s biggest collection of on-screen Twilight items. :) even most of the outfits like the wedding gown and whatnot! And the outdoor views are worth it by themselves!

With a name like that, is anyone surprised?

However they’re also planning to substantially grow their population so if OP has a degree or some kind of technical experience it should be pretty easy to go through that process.
