Aberdeen
I've lived in Aberdeen a short time. There are lots of people who have lived here their whole lives, but I'm not too impressed. It might be nice to live in Westport or in Ocean Shores, but Aberdeen is pretty much the armpit of Washington. It has two pulp mills which stink up the air every day. Nothing is much cheaper here than anywhere else and, in a lot of cases, more expensive. I work at the hospital and have been horrified with the number of drug overdoses and suicides that come in daily. The incidence of alcoholism is also extremely high with odd things happening like someone driving through the wall of Tobacco Depot. This was a drunk driver who had frequent convictions. Houses are also robbed on a daily basis. I'm looking to leave already. I apologize to all of you who love it here. I don't. If you are an alcoholic or meth adict, though, it's a great place.
