We just went in December but we came from the east side. Traffic backs up pretty bad if you’re coming in from the west sometimes. Roads were relatively clear but we drive AWD anyway. You aren’t used to the weather; take the train.

That's exactly what we were told upon moving there. My wife has a high-school friend who lived out in North Bend for 9 years and they still hadn't made any strong connections. I get it, people stick with their own, especially in the PNW.

Oh, I never said we were stuck indoors, just trying to make sense of it. We lived in Hawaii for 7 years and had a much better experience getting to know locals. We'll always love Washington, just wish people were more friendly while we lived there. Thank you for the well wishes in Florida. We're enjoying it very much so far. Take care

Where are you from? We lived there for 4 years and experienced the Seattle freeze ourselves. Washington is known for this and likely has something to do with people being stuck indoors 9 months out of the year. We live in Florida now and people are much more friendly.
