OK, well in that case, I can see why you wonder if she's just using you as a free Uber service. You've set yourself up for this, by agreeing to do that on a regular basis.

Is it to help each other out otherwise to do things for each other? Think about it and see what you can come up with...and whether you actually need to get married to accomplish those things.
I want to get married for companionship

I have met her parents many times. My parents met her only once.

It seems like you should talk to her and then to each set of parents to see if you can work things out. Is there any benefit to living together first, or moving where she can be closer to her family, if she needs their assistance?

You certainly need to find out if she loves you.

Does she have health insurance and would she be able to keep it if she married you?

That's a very good question and something to look into.

And it's possible that their parents are claiming them as dependents, which would affect taxes as well as insurance.

Considering I knew nothing about the geography of Seattle, or perhaps its demographics, I’m guessing you and she could not afford a condo close to her parents in Magnolia if you married? Is Northgate that far away from Magnolia that they could not check in with her occasionally? It looks close enough…

If these relatively simple logistics are beyond the two of you, perhaps you should stick with the status quo.
