Pacific Northwest - OR,WA,BC

Most of these are focused on western Washington, but there's some Idaho routes as well!

Bellingham and Baker/Kulshan from the Lummi Nation. Taken on a bike ride yesterday.

"CVS will pay $110.7 million to Washington state over the next 10 years, Walgreens will send $120.3 million over the next 15 years, Teva will pay $90.8 million over the next 13 years and Allergan will pay $50 million over the next seven years."

Because it's only halfway through June and I'm over it lol

For me, since I've been 100% remote for 8 years now, I can live pretty much anywhere I want, as long as there's decent Internet. As my kids all grew up and moved out to live their own lives, I asked myself where I really wanted to live. One was Ecuador, specifically because of the tropical climate combined with high altitude rain forests. The other was the PNW. My partner and I came up to Eugene, OR and did a massive three day tour of Oregon and southern Washington looking for a place to live and finally settled on Eugene, at least to start. Now we live in northern Salem, OR and we absolutely love it here. The climate (bring on the rain!), the overall feeling of the people, the forests and beaches, just all of it really. To be fair, there are definitely still a number of hateful angry people who live in rural areas, which can be problematic, but overall it's lovely.

What made you move?

Hailing from eastern Washington. Looking forward to seeing this community grow hopefully.

I find the first part of the article incredibly sad, specifically this part: "Noir Goldberg doesn’t remember when she stopped doing earthquake drills and started doing active-shooter drills. At just 17, she belongs to a generation that has never known a world without gun violence."

I created this community because it didn't exist. Let's discuss Oregon, Washington, and western Canada.
