Ah gotcha. Well if you do remember something concrete definitely let us know I’m sure I’m not the only one with the question.

They were small towns with access to water and nature.. That’s really my only stipulation but it would be nice to be around others my age with similar interests. And I am planning on moving around a bit for sure but I would like to maybe find a job for a little while that has something to do with recreation or possibly fishing.

I looked at Ocean Shores, I will go back and look some more!

Sequim, Anacortes, whidbey island

I don't remember, might have been turbo tax telling me when I filed after taking paternity leave. I know I had to pay taxes on the income though.

Rainer. The road to the visitor center is kept open year round. It's not on Helens, you'd have to check.

You can drive between the two in a few hours from the dirt backroads that access spirit lake if you know what you are doing. Its a trip. They won't be open probably.

Monroe is a cute town and about 1.5 hours to leavenworth with parking and tons of hikes in monroe and there, snohomish also has cute small town vibes by the river

North Bend. Port Townsend.

Both have appealing small town scenes going on with young people being outdoorsy and running businesses. Twede’s Cafe in North Bend is the diner in Twin Peaks. Port Townsend is a good place to be central to the incredible beauty of the Olympic Peninsula. Gorgeous northern views across the strait.

There are many more, just mentioning those two.

It's a really big state. A lot depends on what you're looking for.

Honestly? You're in an RV, right? Move around. Check out different areas. The climate varies extremely from the coast to the Idaho border.

Have you researched any areas? What made you choose the locations above?

Do you have any other suggestions? I’d be happy to check them out if so, thanks also for your reply.

You’re circling Ocean Shores. I’d suggest it.

I’m past the application stage. I took leave last year.

Where did you locate the information about it being taxable income?

Honestly, everywhere in Washington has good access to Nature.

The towns you mention are are all in a rather uninteresting area for when you're not seeking nature. It's a remote location that puts you further away from other outdoor recreation areas.

It's taxable, just check the box that has them take out 10% or whatever it is when you apply.

Great l place for a nice long hike and you can also get free clean water before your hike about half a block away, cross the bridge...

Mt. Rainier. You could do PNW trek and Mt Rainier together. St Helens is just remote. In May is shouldn't be too bad.

Literally these “SJWs” are doing nothing but refer to it as Tahoma. Meanwhile the true snowflakes are throwing a hissy fit about it.

I would say it is hilarious… but honestly it’s more concerning than it is funny

And they live in a state NAMED AFTER THE FIRST PRESIDENT. They don’t see or what to see the irony of honoring a traitor in this state. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m still waiting for the part where making a stupid purchase of a motorcycle means a person gets special privileges to drive like manics.

I'll say that the visitor center at Mt St Helens is fantastic if you want to learn about a volcano blowing its top.

I saw that too. This is a huge fail for this program. How can its taxibility still not be known? It’s been around for years now

Well rochester has defended their schools and their fire department so there’s that.

Both are great but Rainier has way more on the spectacular scale

Holy crap! I haven't ever considered this. I'm on leave right now, too. I used to be a financial advisor (used to be, so this is just my opinion), and I would definitely suggest withholding your own taxes with the intent to pay them out of pocket come tax time. The US Government usually takes any opportunity to tax your income, so I would expect this to be the same.
