    I absolutely love Kitsap as well as the Olympic Peninsula. That place warms my heart. We moved there from Puerto Rico though so I was freezing cold the first 2 years I lived there. I loved it anyway.


    I remember that heat wave. I wasn't there but my son and his family had to go stay in a hotel for a few days it was so hot. The other son has air conditioning. Air conditioning usually isn't needed in that area.........but it was last year. We had a wood stove in both homes so that if the power went out we could heat anyway and that wood stove heated our houses up like crazy.
    For the last few years my wife an I have been looking for a place to relocate in the US for our permanent home. The politics here is pissing off my wife. Mostly taxation

    We can’t find a better place than here. So we’ll settle for spending a couple of months every winter at our condo in Mexico.

    Here I have snow skied and water skied on the same day in the spring.

    I sit on my deck and it overlooks the Puget Sound to the Olympic Mountains. I always took it for granted when I was a kid. It was no big deal. It is now.

    You are lucky. And even winter isn't deadly there in the PNW... aside from the occasional wind storm that comes through. I could have stayed there forever but my husband's job took us to other places.

    The only thing Oklahoma has going for it is bang for the buck, which these days, is worth something. I especially loved Kitsap where we could see sunrise over the Cascades and sunset over the Olympics. Heaven on earth.

    The people I know who live in your area are mostly conservative. I know that Leftists run the place, but you aren't alone.

    Winters here at sea level are cloudy, dreary and rainy. After a couple of months it wears on you. Stainless steel colored skies in the winter

    I can’t see the cascades or Mt Rainer from my place. Only the Olympics.

    Outside of the Seattle area most people are indeed conservative.

    From our house (high bank, Puget Sound) in Suquamish, we could see Ranier on a good day (you know how that mountain is.... she chooses when it will allow anyone to see her). And we could see Seattle across the Sound and the Cascades. It took a short drive to see the Olympics. We did some good hiking around Hurricane Ridge though and took the kids to the petting zoo thing in Sequim ... several times...

    I don't mind rain and cloudy weather.

    I don’t mind the rain and cloudy weather until it gone past a month every day. In my house don’t say it’s raining. It’s R’n”. Suquamish is awesome.

    I’m not a big fan of the high bank waterfront. I like to walk out of my front yard and pick oysters and dig clams without climbing massive steps.
