We're considering re-locating there. Have some friends in the Bremerton area.

It's time to say "hasta la vista" to California. We've been here 25 years.
Both of united states of america are from Spokane...and don't want to get dorsum at that place. Too cold in the winter, also hot in the summer, too much crime, besides much "history."

Cheers.

Why would the weather condition be significantly unlike here versus hither?

[edit]
I expect wintertime in both areas to be bone-chilling.

Don't know about WA specifically, but climates tin vary fairly widely, fifty-fifty in shut proximity.

Information technology's fourth dimension to say "hasta la vista" to California. Nosotros've been hither 25 years.
Both of us are from Spokane...and don't desire to go back there. Too cold in the winter, likewise hot in the summertime, too much law-breaking, besides much "history."

Thank you.

I grew up in Bremerton. Lived there my whole life pretty much. Really work in Bremerton (along with near people in the expanse haha) Currently living in Port Orchard though. Bit more than "rural" over Bremerton.

Why would the weather exist significantly different here versus here?

That big mount range called the Cascades that separates the two? Or the iii hundred miles that seperates them. One existence right next to water and ane existence inland...300 miles. Spokane is colder in the wintertime and hotter in the summer. The Pennisula is more mild, doesnt drop below freezing that often, and in summer averages sixty-70 ish i would say.

You live on the reverse coast, only if you lived in the northwest y'all'd realize that's an incredibly stupid question. Go to the heart of the cascades and you are in the one of the wettest places in the US and the snowiest identify in the entire world. Drive a couple hours east of there and you are in a desert.

I would look both to take bone-chilling winters.

Having grown upwards in the northwest I tin only say you've never been here before. As BoomerD would tell you; Spokane, similar most of eastern Washinton, eastern Oregon, and western Idaho is temperate high-desert state where almanac rainfall is the 20-30 inch per year range.

The Olympic Penninsula is domicile to the Hoh Rain Wood on the West Side of the Olympic Peninsula. Moisture-laden air from the Pacific brings an boilerplate of 140 inches of annual rainfall to the Hoh Valley,(tape of 190 inches). The Olympic Penninsula is a temperate rain forest.

NO comparing. Spokane gets that cold arctic air that drops downwards across Canada. The Puget Sound surface area is heavily moderated by the ocean.

I would await both to have bone-chilling winters.

And you lot'd be completely wrong. Very moisture winters on the peninsula, true, but not cold.

Oh look, another Californian wants to motion to Washington! What a surprise.

I approximate you become a laissez passer since you are originally from the country, even if it was so long ago. Just be sure to shower multiple times earlier entering the country to launder off any CA residue.

And Ichi: there are tons of desert in eastern WA on the other side of the Cascades, I could take a moving picture and most would estimate it was of NV of AZ. I did non take these, but you lot get this idea.

The scablands are likewise another very interesting geologic characteristic, very rare and formed during the end of the last water ice historic period when an ice damn broke. If y'all like stuff similar this, wait upwards info on the WA land scablands, very astonishing how they formed, and how quickly.

I judge you get a pass since you lot are originally from the country, even if it was so long ago. But be certain to shower multiple times earlier entering the land to launder off whatsoever CA residue.

:biggrin:

Gee, thanks...

Seriously though, I think you would be crazy to not consider the Oly peninsula. While I don't live over there, I have spent time there and dearest information technology. One of my dream places to live would be on a lilliputian inlet of Puget Sound or peradventure somewhere on the Hood Culvert where I could catch all the crabs and fish I desire. If you similar shellfish, keen oysters grow too.

Not familiar with the market, and so I tin't annotate on prices but with interest rates and the housing market place in general, as long equally you lot can sell your existing place I say become for it ASAP.

Bremerton has a ferry line right to Seattle besides, so y'all are very close to the other side of Puget Sound if needed.

Seriously though, I think y'all would be crazy to not consider the Oly peninsula. While I don't live over there, I have spent fourth dimension there and love it. One of my dream places to alive would be on a little inlet of Puget Sound or possibly somewhere on the Hood Canal where I could catch all the venereal and fish I desire. If you like shellfish, great oysters abound also.

Non familiar with the marketplace, so I tin't comment on prices merely with interest rates and the housing market place in full general, as long every bit you can sell your existing place I say get for information technology ASAP.

Bremerton has a ferry line correct to Seattle likewise, so you are very shut to the other side of Puget Audio if needed.

We've never lived there, but we've visited many years agone. I'1000 personally torn between the Bremerton area and effectually Enumclaw. To my nifty surprise, the Bremerton/Poulsbo/Silverdale area has a MUCH higher crime rate than the Enumclaw surface area. With its proximity to Tacoma, I thought Enumclaw would be the worst of the two. Of course, they're both pretty "tame" when compared to where I'chiliad at now.
