June 16 (non-resident) minus June 12 (Resident) = 4 days to move away from WA.
Sounds plausible. You can be clear around the world in 2 days via conventional airline, and even less if passing up time zones. (eastbound). Happens everyday.

When you gotta go... you gotta GO ..Poof GONE !

Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the country and the highest percentage of people on prescription psych drugs in the country. I don't think the weather's as big a problem as the depressing social climate, though.

No it does not.
Myths debunked - Forbes magazine
Myth #1: Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the country.
"Seattle has regrettably suffered the title “Suicide City USA” for a long time, presumably because of the weather. Rainy weather equals higher suicide rates – perfectly logical! But the truth is Seattle doesn’t even make the top 10 list. According to a study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine, Las Vegas is the true suicide capital of the US, followed by Colorado Springs, Tuscon and a list of other cities that don’t include Seattle. Among states, Alaska tops the list."


As for the psych pills, I can't find anything to corroborate or refute your allegation. So, what's your source?

Polly:
You're actually partly right about the suicides: According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Seattle does rank highest in suicide attempts. I think they rank 12 in actual suicides being completed and carried out.

Still, it has to be admitted that the number is high.

On the psych drugs: I read that in a Tacoma News-Tribune article about a year ago.

Relative to Seasonal Disorder which causes the same.

people in Washington state who own homes could also be very angry about their property taxes going up 30% in one year and losing their house.

Maybe it just has the most people who want to off themselves.

You have proved nothing, please go back to yammering about the Seattle climate. Nobody cares. I did move but I will be posting in the Washington forum when it relates to something I wish to debate.
