I already left, so I didn’t participate in the poll.

Option 3 matched my feelings.

Having grown up a military brat that moved every 3-4 years gave me a bit of a gypsy spirit and I have continued moving that frequently in adulthood. Lived up and down the east coast, midwest, Germany, and Okinowa. WA is my favorite state by far. But I can't say I'll stay here forever simply due to my nature.

We love it here and while we expect to move when we retire we will stay within the state. Sure, there are a few problems but every state has some, and the positives more than make up for the problems.

Been here all of my adult life, and though someday we'd like to retire and drive the country, this will always be home.

I went with option 3 because the problems of homelessness, drugs, and many rural towns in Washington are better left to locals. A move is coming, closer in to a city is a must. Seattle is out, it’s offputting to read about all the problems that city has and then see the prices they want for housing. Nature wise, Washington is a beautiful state, so maybe Spokane is a possibility. Anyway, no state can beat these summers.

Went back to CO, where we had lived for decades, but this time to a different part of it. Yes, we like it better, though obviously every place has its mix of positives and negatives. Our mix fit CO better. It feels like home.

I have relatives in Denver and Ft. Collins...I like Colorado too probably as much as Washington.
