The food, the colder weather personally, I lived in dc for a few years and the summers were unbearable.

The city is growing rapidly and there’s LOTS of work with tech companies

The water, mountains, coffee. Proximity to Canada. Cost of living isn’t cheap but it isn’t bad, which city are you moving from?

It’s just damn beautiful if you can get past the lack of sun for a couple of months. There is always something to do whether it be outdoors (hiking, skiing, camping, etc.) or more city like (concerts, events, restaurants, etc.). People here are generally pretty chill. Great tech scene.

like

Cost of living, and house prices are going up. The traffic is getting bad because of the people’s that are moving here. But overall i love living here because of the great outdoor activities in the summer, and the beautiful city. There are direct flights to UK and some main cities in UK but limited compared to east coast cities

Summers will be similar except more trees. The winters won’t be as bad.

Also - lots of good beer and wine up there now. Ton of California wineries buying property up in Washington because it’s colder and doesn’t have wildfires

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...
