  1. Native Washingtonian and grew up in University Place, a suburb of Tacoma (now a city) and lived nearly 20 years in Seattle before finding a home I could afford in Tacoma itself, mind you, it's a lower cost working class neighborhood, but very convenient to the freeways and major destinations in the city itself. I was lucky to find a modest 3 bed small house at the bottom of the market cost wise in 2016 at a price I could well afford and right before prices took off here as folks began finding homes here and costs went up significantly. Now many homes are twice they were in 2016. Rent has become ridiculous as well, but nothing like it was in 2016 in Seattle where a typical 1 bedroom of about 600SqFt went for 1100, or more. Agree that progressive politics has gone too far with a lot of bleeding hearts, political correctness and lots of passive aggression permeating the west coast in general, and the homeless. SO glad Jay Inslee is out, was not a fan if his policies and prefer folks like the former Dan Evans, Dixie Lee Ray, Booth Gardner etc, and Charlie Royer (Seattle Mayor in the 70's and early 80's), sadly all are no more some 40+ years on... In those days, politics was not so far left as it seems to be now unfortunately. I think if all three states weren't so progressive etc, we'd all be better off.
