Is this in every city and town in Washington?

I think the PNW has a weird subculture pervasive in it. If you want cloudy and cold, I would just draw a line between Pittsburgh and Boston and live anywhere between that line and the St Lawrence-Great Lakes.

The entire eastern half of the USA has trees everywhere. Move to Georgia if you want trees. WA is depressing and shitty

>>2684192
I want dark, ominous, cloudy weather everyday so I can hurry home and listen to prohibition era jazz in my shitty apartment and smoke cigarettes reflectively on my balcony.

Seems comfy, and as far as muh social life, I have absolutely no desire.

>>2684334

olympia is nice but seattle is best. The small washington towns are just as depressing as small towns anywhere else in the usa

>>2684175
Is it worse than BC? I wanted to make the move there I cannot stand BC anymore and went to Washington once and loved it.

>>2684334

>>2685075
Um, no. I’m going to Seattle, thanks

thoughts on Spokane Washington anybody if somebody is big into outdoor activities?

>>2684334
>>2684790
I suggest Forks, Washington. That is the town that Twilight was set in.....the dark, cold, mossy aesthetic is what you are looking for. Astoria, Oregon is the best place next to Forks. The only other place that ticks your boxes is the Alaska Panhandle. The AP is where I want to reture someday.

>>2685150
I hate to admit this but I don’t have a car, haven’t driven one for 3 years now, and I really don’t miss it, so these far flung carfag locations I can’t partake in, but I respect anyone who frowns at me I’m not a liberal I just think cars are a pain in the ass

>>2685096
Closer to Montana and glacier, but that's about it. Spokane is a shithole. West of the cascades has better scenery and bodies of water.

>>2684173
Beautiful nature, increasingly melanated and drug-addled population, state government is a dumpster fire par excellence.

>>2684334
>I want dark, ominous, cloudy weather everyday
Western WA has lots of clouds but it's not really "dark" or "ominous" and is basically boring; it's just very overcast very consistently.

>>2685096
>thoughts on Spokane Washington anybody if somebody is big into outdoor activities?
Just keep going east at that point until you hit Idaho or Montana. Better outdoor recreation, not a meth'd out shithole and you don't have to deal with the truly abhorrent state government of WA.

>>2684192
>Even if you feel fine other people won't
This is what's so frustrating. People here are just anxious and completely out there. People and even bartenders who can't look especially new people in the eye. It's such an off-putting feeling to keep encountering this.
And it's only the white people who are like this.

>>2685263
>Western WA has lots of clouds but it's not really "dark" or "ominous" and is basically boring; it's just very overcast very consistently.

Yes. Southeastern US has DARK clouds that block out the sun so it's actually dark, dump water, lightning rages, but Seattle just.... It's cloudy, very little lightning at all, no major wind, "rain" just sprinkles.

>>2685307
>People here are just anxious and completely out there. People and even bartenders who can't look especially new people in the eye. It's such an off-putting feeling to keep encountering this.
Everywhere in North America is like this now

>>2685307
Bartenders, police officers (I'm not joking), security personnel, restaurant workers, grocery store checkout retards have all been timid or anxious and often continue to be so when I have the misfortune of having to deal with them again.
It's such a strange phenomenon.

>>2685167
imagine having a superiority complex over missing out on things due to your own laziness. no one thinks that you're an intellectual or a free spirit just because you don't have a car

>>2685320
I don't believe that. At all. People like Texans are not complete autistic retards and just will just talk like normal with people. And like I've posted before, it's mostly just the white people who are like this. Even here in Seattle I've had lengthy and friendly conversations with people and not feeling any anxiety or off-putting bullshit but they were all with, you guessed it, non-whites. White people here are out of their fucking minds. Asians, hispanics, blacks have overall been chill and amicable. The white people? Anxious, gay, timid, gay, passive aggressive, and pretty fucking gay.

Yea walking everywhere is lazy bro. I don’t feel like being accountable for some faggot metal box and it’s upkeep on gas and insurance when all it would amount to is expediting running errands or commuting to work (maybe)
>superiority complex
Suck my balls weasel lol

>>2685329
Brown people are joyous, exuberant, and love to live and love. They are happy and have many children.
Whites are anxious and afraid. They live in fear, knowing that the state is working towards their eradication. They are afraid of talking to another due to fear of racism and microaggressions, increasingly barred from employment due to ESG policies, knowing that their species is going extinct surrounded by joyous people that hate them.
Oh, how wonderful it is.

>>2685467
Sure. Sensible perspective. I shouldn't judge too harshly some of them and I'll keep that in mind for the future.

But others? They appear to just be the liberal mutant types who have a chip in their shoulder against me for nothing but my appearance.

choosing not to go somewhere because it's too far for you to walk to is laziness. choosing to not be accountable for maintaining a vehicle because it's a "pain in the ass" is laziness. your inb4 is meaningless because you do not have a valid argument. do everyone in this thread a favor and walk off of a cliff.

This is probably a case of "you think you want it, but you don't". Shit stops being kino fast and leaves you with SAD. and when you get older you will absolutely regret being dismissive of "muh social life" I guarantee it. Also the vibe in Washington is garbage

>>2687283
What if you're surrounded by trash though? The issue is there's so few people around worth having in your life. So if you're in a social desert, wouldn't it be the correct thing to be content being alone?

>>2684173
Michigan has a ton of trees and beaches too, lakes as big and moody as oceans...it's arguably a better part of the country to live than western Washington, if you can handle the lake-effect winters. Lots of little towns up north where life goes on like it has for a long time. Summer rainstorms tend to be brief, but cool cloudy days are common.

These passive aggressive dumb animals with their antidepressants and dogs are such trash.

What’s wrong is it’s so heavily industrialized. I’m planning on going to pnw again but I’m going to Oregon. It’s prettier more natural (the high rises just aren’t as high) with the economy bleeding out due to antifa Covid and poor government it’ll be looking more ripe to pick in the future. I’m just debating if I want to buy a dingy house or just to wait and buy coastal property far away from people. But I like the Oregon culture too. More weird and slowed down. More liberal just needs a few years of bounce back from global changes.

Spokane man its the Jewel of America but you gotta be willing to drive. Its like a family/college town with nice river walk and fishing, nearby Idaho, can drive to Seattle, Tri Cities, you are bound to have something to do.

Just bite the bullet and do what you can afford in Seattle otherwise, its got bad vibes but I dunno just go in not trying to be a right wing spooky douchebag and make trouble and whenever you see a fellow White person give them a light nod and remember you cannot get pussy unless you get personally introduced. Get linked in to some organizations and go from there.

It's funny how nearly every single thing you posted is true in that I would see nearly all of them just by walking through the city one day. I did it again today and yet again keep thinking about moving. I keep wanting to like Seattle. I keep trying. But the longer I stay here the less I like it. The people are so trash and there is so much legit mental disorders all over the place. I don't understand how people can be this bad. It's a great place to keep my face at the grind stone and keep working, but at some point you look up, realize your skin is aging, and wonder what you're working for again while time passes like this.

Vancouver, WA is easily the best place to live in the entire PNW

>>2691949
You mean because it's a tax haven? Washington has no state income tax, and if you cross the river into Portland to do all your shopping they have no sales tax.

>>2684173
despite the FUD in this thread, im still going to Seattle. If it sucks ass, my fallback is gonna be Cleveland.

>>2692398
It's good to still give it a shot. See for yourself. I also used the place as somewhere quiet and private to get over personal issues and just work and grow but after a couple years I wanted to start branching out socially and was consistently frustrated with how terrible the people are. I'm leaving for Thailand in two months and am considering giving Seattle another shot after since to be fair to the city I had a lot of personal shit clouding up my mind and had a rough start. I just think at 35 I probably shouldn't bother so much with social life shit at this point.
Just make money and fuck off. Seattle is still a top tier candidate for that.

>>2692469

Seattle cost of living is probably 40% higher than Portland. Seattle feels like a much larger city and has better entertainment and all the 'big city' shit. Portland has a smaller town feel and it's less chaotic, more chill. I always preferred Portland to Seattle. Lived in both for a couple years each. I miss Portland, don't think I'd want to move back to Seattle. Grain of salt tho, I lived in Portland 2011-13 and Seattle 13-15 and I've heard both have really gone downhill the last decade

Spokane is an absolute fucking dump. Do not consider living in Spokane unless you're ultra conservative and/or live for the outdoors. Even then, live in northern Idaho instead.

>>2690815
If you avoid Portland proper you'll miss out on most the leftist bullshit. Live in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Sherwood/Tualatin, or Hillsboro. The leftist bullshit is mostly contained to the urban center of Portland and doesn't leak out much into the suburbs.

Outside of Portland, Salem is getting more and more popular and starting to get fairly expensive for a place that was a complete shithole 10 years ago. I always liked Corvallis even though it's boring, nice little quiet college town. Eugene is a larger Corvallis with more meth heads and hippies. Bend is gorgeous but Californians discovered it around 1995 and have destroyed it. Southern Oregon has some cool towns like Jacksonville and Ashland, though Ashland is very very liberal so you'd probably hate it. There's almost nothing in the eastern half of Oregon, very remote high desert that's hot as fuck in the summer and cold as fuck in the winter.

>>2684173
Seattle is hell on Earth. It makes me want to die.

>>2691355

It's painful how true all this shit is. Been stuck here since 2002 and been trying to leave since 2019. It was a shithole when I moved here and it's a bigger shithole now. My greatest fear is that when I die and go to hell, I'll be transported back to Seattle.

>>2688130

>What’s wrong is it’s so heavily industrialized.

If you honestly think that Seattle is heavily industrialized, you never spent anytime any of the Rust Belt states. Seattle's manufacturing industry is small compared to most cities with real industrial bases. Seattle is dirty looking because the locals are too stupid to maintain the infrastructure and too lazy to do any work.

>>2691355
Sounds like Vancouver BC.
The whole PNW is cursed.

I think it's hilarious that you believe Seattle people are somehow less shitty and more white than in Denver.

>>2694104
I consider Seattle to round out my “tour of America.” I grew up in DC so I already know how people are over here. They act provincial, stuffy, and sometimes sharp, but have a politeness that isn’t too syrupy and gross like the Midwest. Denver was like Midwest lite in terms of dumb, syrupy nice bumbling idiots, and overall mid and tolerable.

What I’m expecting from Seattle is California douchebaggery but mediated by introverted self-absorbed tech bro dork faggots, and also super leftist Marxist cat shit people with colorful tattoos and hair. All in all, I feel like I’ll get a good understanding.

I’m not really keen to investigate small-town south or Midwest because I get the perception those people are just dumb fluoride cow people

>>2694124
People in Seattle are passive and standoffish and don’t want to be your friend. The Seattle Freeze is real

>>2694130
I’m totally ok with that. I’ve got enough social accumen to come off as pleasant and considerate but I’m misanthropic and don’t want to interact with people deep down so by all means, I want a social ice age

>>2694130
Which works out well because so many of them are total losers whining about the cost of.kiving while the rest of us are growing financially. Locals are losers. If you want quality people in your life you have to talk to the others who moved here and haven't been crushed by the passive aggressiveness and shunning.

>Which works out well because so many of them are total losers whining about the cost of.kiving while the rest of us are growing financially.

Only people growing financially here are the tech grifters milking VCs out of money for ideas written on the back of napkins. The economy here hasn't developed beyond that market with the exception of real estate speculation, but that goes hand in hand with money. The jobs here pay fuck all and there's almost a complete absence of a professional work culture; no one knows how to fucking do anything out here because the "fake it till you make it" culture that you see in a lot of technical fields is so pervasive in the area that it's common to meet people who have decades of experience in their chosen trade, but never achieving proficiency at it. With so few experts to find mentorship from, it's impossible to build a career out here if you're not in tech; and consequently limiting your earnings.

It's not any better down there. Kent is literally the 10th fastest growing city in the country according to the 2020 census. COL is as bad as any suburb of Seattle and the wages ain't keeping up.

>>2684173
there are trees in eastern WA as well, just not everywhere, plus less browns. Move to ID at this point

>>2694054
I frequently come across higher value people in the many cities across different states and countries I've been in. Here I can just be outside and casually overhear many people talking about their therapist, or their antidepressants, or something stupid about politics like men taking credit for women's achievements, some guy randomly offering to help some woman correct her form on some exercise in the gym and she was appalled he would dare butt in, or just seemingly always trying to sniff out "fascists."
It's the people in Seattle that are the problem far more than I am. You freaks need to get your shit together.

>>2697382
It's a huge part of PNW culture to police each other passively and try to get other people in trouble (without confronting them).
It's gay as hell and why NYC is much better, at least people there will mind their own business.

>>2687460
>I want a hopeless atmosphere if I’m forced to remain in America
If you want to feel hopeless you're better off finding a small former industrial or agricultural town with a failing economy and abandoned houses and shuttered businesses. Plenty of them around in the midwest and southwest.

>>2697382
These faggots always have the same response too. Local faggots will try to gaslight you, as if them being weird asocial hostile passive-aggressive freaks is your problem, and that you have something to do with it. Or more importantly that you are the problem for noticing they're a bunch of cunts.
Nah, they're just a bunch of mentally unstable assholes trying to control each other.

>>2697474
>police each other passively and try to get other people in trouble (without confronting them).
This is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing. It's garbage and I hate these people now because this pathetic behavior is pretty common.

>>2699278
And this too!

These people are rats. I don't get why these freaks act as they do and how they're allowed to be here. Trash like this should have gotten managed out a long time ago but it seems to be the dominant behavior and culture here. It's garbage. It's dystopian and dysgenic.

>>2697474
they sound like angloids

>>2699274
Nah, those falling-apart BFE places are perfect for anti-social cats who prefer no interactions with strangers. Nothing inherently hopeless about that. And not every impoverished town is a hopeless shithole. Independence, Kansas has been losing people for seven decades now. Median household income is $47K, compared to the $75K average in America. Yet it remains a very nice place to live. Somehow most downtown storefronts remain occupied, probably because rents are in the range of $300/month. Main Street bars still have $2.50 happy hour beers and 99 cent wing specials like it was 2014. The city park is huge and lovely. Hell, the town even has diversity, a smattering of blacks and browns. The Mexican torta food truck was pretty damn good, cost $8 and the guy loaded it with delicious grilled beef.

>>2699866
>And not every impoverished town is a hopeless shithole.
Yeah, people tend to forget that statistics are bullshit. I grew up in a place that is a crime-riddled hellhole in the poorest county in the entire state by the numbers but the whole time I was growing up there I never even heard of anything more serious than a DUI or a fight at the local bar - and incidentally, that latter place is where like 90% of all of the violent crime in town was. People sold produce using honor boxes and left cash payments under a rock on the front porch. Obviously it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but god damn.

Where in the PNW would you find a "vibe" of a town, scenery, population like in the "Life Is Strange" videogames and/or "Stand by Me" (1986 movie)?

Olympia is a fucking lunatic faggot shithole owned and ran by kikes. I had the misfortune of living in that shit hole for a year and I'm there a few times a week now. Literally the most institutional Democratic shit hole where all the faggot politicians are along with one of the most obnoxious populations of faggots and homeless. Not as bad as Seattle but pound for pound just as annoying and fucked.

DON'T FUCKING COME HERE, FAGGOTS

>>2703853

I lived right on the main street in Olympia for a year. It was amazing the kiked faggotry of that fucking rat nest shit hole. They would put the fucking flags up on the mainstream for whatever faggot globohomo bullshit the kikes were pushing that week. So we got faggot rainbow flags, Ukraine flags (what the ever loving fuck), Earth flags for Earth Days and so on and so on... it was funny because on July 4th, they put American flags out for like a day and you could just feel how much it pained these filthy fucking kikes. But the faggot flag and earth flags stayed for a over a month.

One of the most vivid memories i have of that time in that shit hole was watching a bunch of filthy fucking jew rabbis riding around the streets for Hanukkah with a gigantic police escort... really just a display of who owns that fucking shit hole.

Isn't the whole point of Stand By Me that the past is a foreign country and you can't go back to it.
That said, the little towns in Oregon, like Coos Bay, Astoria, feel like they haven't changed since 1959 or 1989. The Sierra towns like Bishop and Truckee in California also feel this way. Crescent City also.

>>2704026
Thank you for your reply.
>Isn't the whole point of Stand By Me that the past is a foreign country and you can't go back to it.
I honestly haven't thought that deep into the story of the movie. To me it was a beautiful slice-of-life story of a reminiscing, near middle-aged father forced to reflect on his childhood and his history due to the loss of his old friend from school.

>>2703855
You seem mentally healthy!

People often either act like you don't even exist or you may get passive aggressive snark. Act like you don't exist to your face but then try and fuck with you in the background. Like the other anon said, people try and get you in trouble without confronting you. Either ignore you or fuck with you is what they like.

And it's people who moved here doing it. These miserable fuckers.

>>2704072

Live in Olympia for a year, faggot. Then get back to me. I was a liberal until I lived in Seattle and Olympia. Now the only sane decision is genocide of all leftists. You will feel this way too if you spend any length of time there with an IQ over the 100.

>>2704186
>with an IQ over the 100
That must explain why the industry outside of foreign tech workers is so bad here. Locals are too low IQ lmao. Also makes sense why they seem to hate anyone successful.

So that's what they're doing. I've noticed a bunch of these people will be passive aggressive and if I simply ignore them and go about my business over time they start ignoring me or brushing me off and avoiding eye contact.
Is that the game these dumb animals pull? Passive aggressive bullshit to try and control you or else you get shunned?
Pathetic lol

>>2684190
it's really not that bad. out of all the "bad" parts of america, it's definitely nice.

I've always thought about going to Washington, there's other places I wouldn't mind moving too but I like that the weather doesn't get too hot, coming from a place that barely has winters and is too hot in the summer. I'm also a winter lover too, plus I'm looking for an environment where I can grow trees and crops for myself with pretty stable temperatures

>>2707079

in what categories of life?
I tried it out but couldn't get the place to stick for me

Limited fun with dating, but great tabletop game groups.
fun bonfires, good thai food

Nit OP, all I do is get terrified on super strong weed and go on very long walks

I am in Denver but its far too much concrete for me

How would I fare in Seattle

All concrete in Seattle unless you live in the outskirts. Probably similar to Denver in that regard

All the industries out here are sorely lacking in qualified and skilled professionals, and that goes double for tech. Any highly technical profession can be easily bullshited because of the high barrier to knowledge, making it more difficult to call people out on being incompetent and being shitty at their jobs.

That tangent aside. In the PNW, it's common to meet people out here who have been in their trade for decades, but never achieving any real level of expertise in it.

>>2691949
How walkable is Vancouver? I'm torn between it and Eugene though I like Vancouver more due to being closer to a major city.

>>2711804
Not walkable in the areas I'd recommend living, all of which are more on the outskirts. You could probably get by near downtown.

>>2685667

Downtown is exactly where I'm looking actually. I expect homeless dope fiends but are there bigger issues there?

That's because Pittsburgh is a real city for normal people. It's not a haven for neurodivergent retards.

Not bigger issues, mostly stuff like property crime. Rarely violent crime apart from family related murder suicides.
I'm not a big fan of downtown though. It might be cheaper than Portland but that's about all it has going for it. I'm guessing you don't have a car? Areas that are less walkable are much better around here like salmon creek, camas, ridgefield, battleground,etc

>>2716853

Correct, walkability is pretty much essential for me. I like downtown too just because it is so close to Portland for flights and concerts, etc.

>>2717048
>Strongly considering moving there from my small Mountain Time Zone city.
If your best motivation for Seattle right now is "consideration" from the middle of nowhere...well there's your answer. It's HCOL USA. A consequential place to impulse move to.

It depends on what your priorities are I suppose

>>2693935
There is no such thing as COL

I can rent a room for the same price in any city in America and I can eat goyslop for the same price anywhere in America.

COL only begins to exist when you begin to attempt to purchase things that will offer you social credit with others. Don't do that.

I fucking promise it costs the same to be a bum everywhere.

>>2717134
Depends on how you define city. Cleveland is a city but an apartment in downtown Cleveland will be a fraction of the cost of downtown Seattle. You will also find way more quantity of cheap apartments in Cleveland, and the quality will be better for the same price.

>>2717149
$600.

I can find a room for $600 per month anywhere in America.

In fact, it is easier in Seattle than it is the rural shithole I grew up in because nobody rents rooms in rural Kentucky.

>>2717159
>>2717149
I am currently paying $465 in a wealthy part of Denver

>>2717134
What is this NeverTraveller B.S. What you get for your money varies tremendously across America, both in accomodations and in food.
>>2717159
This statement completely ignores the vast disparities in room size, house amenities, general upkeep, and desirability of the setting that $600/month will get you in different cities.
>>2717160
Virtually no landlords rent at below-market rates to the general public. I pay $500 for a one-bedroom apartment in Chaffee County. It's awesome, but entirely irrelevant to someone looking to move here, as the owner only rents to employees working for one of his family businesses.

>>2717159

No you can't, you got lucky and found a good deal on a roomshare in a nice neighborhood. That happens, but rarely. The average roomshare in an urban area (an actual city, not Cincinnati or Denver) is like $1200 now.

Why even store the stuff then, unless you've got some irreplaceable stuff you can't carry off with ya?

What would mega money be? I'd estimate like 300k, which is what a lot of level 2 big tech engineers in the city would be making. Seattle makes little sense unless one is in tech or being sugar momma'd daddy'd by someone in it

Bad news but every single corner of America is expensive now

Cost of living is a myth you can live like a bum everywhere or spend every penny of a 10,000 monthly salary everywhere

Maybe 10 years ago, but there is definitely no cost of living difference between some random Iowa cow field and the west coast.

In 2024 you are making $20 an hour and paying $1200 rent in all places no matter what.
