Default update

A friend of mine who lives in Spokane had his work truck stolen from his drive way while he was sleeping. He reported it.. then a week later his truck was recovered by police with most of the tools missing out of it and the rack had been cut off...possibly to get $$ for it for recycling it..& these people dont even live in the "bad" part of town.

I am from the bay area California and I too have to opportunity to relocate, I was also thinking of Spokane, WA. With the comments in these forums and the research I've done, I don't think I will like Spokane very much. I found some places in Idaho, not far from Spokane that have better weather and more sun.. Sandpoint, Id to be exact. But, I also have the opportunity to move to Colorado, Longmont.Boulder.Denver area. I'm going to visit Idaho and Co before making the move, but Spokane seems like too much for me.. but what do I know, never lived there...

I believe this conclusion you came to is incorrect. From what I understand, they get more snow/cold, and probably about the same amount of sun. It is likely cooler during summer, however.

Check the Idaho forum, we have some local Sandpoint area residents active on the forum over there.

Spokane was a summer playground for elite Northeasterners around the turn of the century. They pretty much build the town for their pleasure.
I lived on Spokane's South Hill for 22 years. Loved the 4 seasons and the weather about 3 months out of 12. Looking for spring was the worst time, never seemed to come and then it was June. But I did enjoyed being there out of the California daily rat race. Spokane never seemed a rat race. Yes it has the typical social problems. But it has great shopping and outdoor attivities. I don't regret my time in Spokane.
I'm a California native. Now retired I just moved back to California, Carpinteria. In Carp it's easy to walk to the stores and the beach year round. I think the elites almost had it right. The PNW is a great place to visit 3 months but I'll live 9 in a mild climate like SoCa.
BTW, the OP hasn't been heard of for over a year! LOL

The OP started the thread on January 8, 2013. That is 1 month ago, not 1 year ago.
