I just stay inside where its warm and go out when I want to shop. Although when there is fresh snow a drive down Columbia park is I hate to say this but picturesque, something out of a bob ross painting. Ya you wouldn't like it here. nope

Hey there, love the video! I’m moving to Washington next year right before winter but I still haven’t decided what part. I hate snow and don’t like many rainy days. I’m moving from MD because the humidity here is terrible and MD just isn’t the place for me. What place would you recommend in WA? My friend suggested Spokane but I saw that snow rank is on 44.9 💀 I really didn’t like when I saw that rank, city is beautiful but I can’t stand long snow days. Is Richland a place you would suggest? Or what would places would have the best weather with the least rain and snow days. Thank you so much 🙏

How’s the crime as of 2022?? I am thinking of moving back to the tri cities as I used to live in Kennewick like 10 years ago but this time I really want to know how’s the crime rating as people are going crazier now days it is very dangerous mostly everywhere specially in the big cities. By the way I currently live near Sacramento California but I love Tri cities in Washington and within God will we want to live there again

Sure when I pass my NCLEX-RN, Tricities and Spokane are on my list. My family lives in Spokane. Also a nice place. Love the evergreen state, and i love that it has four seasons. ❤ With the climate change that's been happening, heat is unbearable, tornadoes, flooding, no way i would live in the southern states, CA, and FL. Not a good move to invest a property. Years will come and this thing is for sure. People and should seriously think about it.

@carimcgeeteam Жыл бұрын

This will depend some on when you visit, but if you're here in the summer time, I suggest going to all there farmer's markets because the fresh produce is spectacular. You could paddleboard on the Columbia, or take a cruise. Definitely visit the wineries. Even if you don't like wine, the views and the relaxation is top notch. If you can tour the Hanford Reactor, you should do that. Definitely go to the Hanford Reach Museum. I'd stay near Columbia Pt., because then you're generally centrally located.

But lots of nice restaurants, museums, galleries, tennis clubs, places to enjoy yourself and meet people on the weekend? - foget about it! If you are single and live there, plan on enjoying loneliness. I had to live there because I was employed by the U.S. Department of Energy.
