Mike,
I lived in Colorado Springs for 18 years and left during the Telco meltdown with WorldCom. Everything you say is absolutely true. I lived last on Bakers Farm Road and before that on Estebury Circle and before that, on Alpine Valley Drive. Streets you probably know. I'm living well in Amarillo now... |

Hello everybody,
i came across this website by chance 2 days ago and can't help admitting all wonderful things you guys say about Colorado Springs. My husband and i moved from Seattle to Colorado Springs in December and in spite the fact that we had a couple of blizzards this winter (which reminded me of Russia I am originally from there), I like Colorado Springs' weather, it has more sunny days than Seattle. And overall, you have less traffic here, have a chance to be outdoors more often and people are great! |

Mike, thanks for your input. Awesome info. Is there anybody there from the Northwest. I have moved from Portland Oregon to Austin. Austin seemed to be a great place to move at first, nice lakes, very green, nice folks. However its been under tornado threats weekley, the weather is very humid, and its just not as pretty as portland. Its muggy as all get out. I miss the NW, but cant take the rain. Can anybody from the NW compair Oregon/Washington to Colorado Springs. BYW what is the sales tax, income tax rate, weather...beauty? Any Tornadoes lately? KS has me a little worried about that. Any lakes out there for ski boats?

Im from Oregon and Washington. You must have either lived in Portlnd, Eugene, or Ashland, because Oregon is pretty conservative.

What about the beauty factor. This seems to be a bigger issure every day....Can Colorado give Pac NW a run for its money on beauty? I only hear about the rocky mountain.

I too am living in Austin, TX and previously lived in Seattle. Plans are to move to Colorado Springs next spring. It was going to be a year after that, but I just can't wait to get there! I'm hoping that mountains are mountains and it will be similar to those by Seattle. No Puget Sound, but less expensive and less traffic.
