I know it's cheaper than the Seattle area, but does the cut in pay make it worth it to move over there?
Thanks, Snacks.
Thanks, Snacks.
I would say $250K.oly said:so your 100k house in spokaine compares to what price house in seattle?
Yes, it is more conservative over there. My parents still live there and are hard core GW fans ink:freeridekid said:We did really good moving to tri-cities... my dad got a raise and its cheaper to live here! we sold our 15-year-old house in kirkland for like 400k, then bought a 4-year-old one here that was not quite as big for like 220k. plus you get unlimited irrigation water for i think $350 per year. i've noticed some restaurants (not chain ones though) are cheaper here, probably because the owners are not as snobby :devil: . only thing is the people are more conservative here. but maybe that's a plus for you. good thing about conservatives here is that they don't care where you build jumps or trails--in fact, some lady gave me and my friend access to her hose to build jumps right next to her house (crazy).
anyway, its far cheaper to live on the eastside, so i'd say move here
where's that?Snacks said:Yes, it is more conservative over there. My parents still live there and are hard core GW fans ink:
Funny you mention building jumping were ever you want....there is a vacant lot down the street from my parents house and it's full of dirt jumps. It has been like that for years!

Good points DHRacer..I was hoping you'd respond.DHRacer said:I guess it all boils down to what you want out of where you live? In addition to rent, land, gas, power, property taxes, etc being cheaper... grocery store food is cheaper in smaller town, as opposed to the larger city suburbs.
There are many more things that are cheaper... some things will still cost the same. I lived in Chicago before moving back to Wash, and when I moved moved back I took a SERIOUS pay cut, but to me, it was worth it. I'm happier here and I love the area. (I live in Wenathcee by the way).
Also take into account, your commute to work? for some it can be anywhere from 30 min to 90 min... you wont' have that in a smaller town.
There's lot of pros and cons... just boils down to what you want more.
Are you leaving us?Snacks said:Good points DHRacer..I was hoping you'd respond.
The money really isn't that important to me, I don't have any bills, and enough in savings to keep me going for a while. I would easily scarifice money for the enjoyment of living in a smaller town.
I have only driven though Wenatchee for races and riding a the Gulch, but I like the dry heat and the terrian.
I guess all I need to do now is find a job!
let me know when the lifts are running.T:I:M said:Move to cle elum and help us build the new version of whistler here
