Reply to comment by s1ipperypick1e in How does Bellevue compare to Whidbey? by check_my_cv

We were fortunate to sell in Seattle when that market was hot but Whidbey wasn’t, so we were able to afford some acres and a big cozy, quirky house.

Kids have spent the last two days sledding in our pasture and building snow forts. We have a trail around our property that also connects to our neighbors, where my son’s friend lives. My in-laws live nearby. It’s a good life.

I do wonder how they’ll feel about it when they’re teens though. There isn’t much to do on evenings/weekends, at least compared to a city, or college town, or really anywhere else.

Things you need to not mind to live here: everything closing at like 7pm, power outages, expensive groceries, limited amenities, limited services, limited social circles, and political diversity.

And Hermie the dentist elf!

Don't get me wrong, I am happy for those who choose religion. I am happy for anyone who finds shat they need to help them through life & guides them to being the person they want to be. We should all be so lucky. I am just happy my beliefs are respected as well.

Never heard of "freedom from religion" before but I'm one graphic designer away from being one hundred percent on board with them. Free the people. Fuck the church. People talk about how accepting Olympia is, how diverse and friendly it can be... Imagine where we could've been by this point had we rid ourselves and others of religion long ago.
