That's nice that I have found a thread like this. Since I'm looking forward to relocate to Whashington( 'cause my friends live there ), but i read loads of infromation about other places to live. Thanks for relevant information, and above-mentioned items are important for me too. Especially the climate. For the moment I live in Ukraine and we have here so cold "Brutally" cold winters. And more then often very cold and rainy falls and spings.
