I only lived west of the Cascades for eight, long, long, long, long months. The worst time of my life!!

This article pretty much covers the bases if you want to live west of the Cascades!!

Good article, slightly funny....mostly true. AND written by a RESIDENT OF WESTERN WASHINGTON.

Ha ha! That was funny.

Although I think there was a small amount (or maybe a large amount) of hyberbole in that article, I can certainly relate. I was also raised in Eastern WA, moved over there right after med school, and immediately suffered extreme culture- and climate-shock.

Couldn't have been happier when I moved back over the hill to the desolate side.

I think everyone could pick out reasons similar to these that they hate about their particular region of any state. I have more than a handfull of reasons why I hate Texas, in particular why I hate my side of Texas. There is no true nirvana, anywhere. It's good to be hopeful though, I guess, if you don't mind being disappointed.

Sometimes I feel like the Washington forum is anti-Western Washington.

Eastern Washington often has the typical rivalry with Western Washington and Western Washington is often anti-growth for Western Washington so they will highlight the negatives where it serves that purpose.
