Aberdeen is not a good place to live, sorry. Salt water in the air wreaks havoc on houses, the poverty rate is high, and drug abuse is rampant. In addition, when people flock to the ocean for holidays, traffic backs up through Aberdeen so badly it practically traps the locals in their homes. I would live nearly anywhere in Washington, but not Aberdeen.

Do you mean all the marble is from Washington? That’s not correct, we were just there and did the 3 hour tour. Almost all the different areas are made from marble from different areas. Some from Alaska, some from France and Greece I think it’s from all over the world. And they have like 489 Tiffany lamps from the Tiffany lamp company that went out of business in the Great Depression. The finished the capital building in 1928 I think, a year before the depression, otherwise they would never have been able to build it as grandly as it is.

The lead singer of Nirvana was born there. The depressing feeling you get from being in Aberdeen totally makes you realize where the mopey pissy mood of grunge music was from.

If you work in healthcare, the state hires healthcare professionals at Stafford Creek Correctional Center. You don’t have to live in Aberdeen either. Westport, Ocean Shores, Grayland, all have their advantages. Housing is inexpensive (for the PNW) and Olympia is only an hour away.
