Hello, I am planning retirement. Living in east coast now, want to move to washington. I am a guy who love natures. Ideal place is quite place surrounded by forests, rivers or lakes and mountains, for hiking, fishing, kayaking…. lots of out door activities, don't mind live in rural area or small towns.
Please suggest where should I be looking for.
Thanks
Peter

With a few exceptions (i.e. the Columbia Basin), you could live pretty much anywhere in this state and fit into those requirements.

Any questions that are slightly more specific?

How many hours do you want to be from:
  1. Walmart / Home Depot style shopping.
  2. Grocery
  3. Hardware / sporting good store
  4. Medical care
  5. Airport
  6. colleges / culture
  7. library
  8. Auto shop

200+ days of drizzle? Temps usually in 40's in winter and 80F in summer
(we_tside)
or

150 days of gray skies, occasional snow, and slightly colder? (20's in winter / 90F in summer)
(Eastside)

bait fishing or fly fishing? (or ocean fishing)

Do you enjoy coastal / inland waters, ?
or
Mtn streams and lakes?

If you want QUIET... consider an Island! (WA has plenty) BC has more, Alaska is a good choice too.

Thanks, everybody.
My budget is $300K. I don't care much about house conditions if it is located in a right area…… forests, rivers or lake and mountain…….quiet, secluded, and having 2-3 or more acres around it would be lovely. West side of state is preferred if possible. 50 miles or less trip to shopping areas and medical cares. I don't fishing, just enjoy surrounded by natural forest-water-mountains. Places have sunlight and are warm enough for growing some vegetable in my backyard for my dinner.

Thanks again

I'd look somewhere around the Cle Elum/Roslyn area.
