I'm young and fancy free and want to move to a new state because Arizona for the past 23 years has sucked dong. I have the means to move and no real commitments to anywhere, and my industry (wastewater treatment) exists literally everywhere, so I'm not worrying about finding work. Mainly I just want to get out of the desert, and that's where pic related comes in. Yeah, it's from a video game, but it's a decent representation of the environment I'd like to live in. So if you guys were moving to somewhere in the US and wanted to live in pic related, where would you go?

If you want to live in pic related, move to Washington or Oregon
I also lived in Arizona for the first 23 years of my life and moved to Washington recently and it's great. I do miss Arizona though, and it's expensive here

What part of WA do you live in? I've got a cousin in Seattle and I wouldn't mind the city, or a suburb of it. Any particular aspects of the state you really like?

The weather is reasonably okay and the state itself has very picturesque natural beauty. You need a car to appreciate it though, and I currently don't so I can't comment a lot.
Weather = cloudy 70% of the time, rainy 25% of the time, breezy and cool and not too harshly cold in the winter. Gets a bit humid in the summer
I miss the smell of the Arizona desert though. It smells good, and you won't realize this until you leave. Like desert sage

Not him, but ive lived in both eastern WA and the seattle area. The eastern side is 100% desert. If you want to live in pic related, go to anywhere west of the state. Small towns near the ocean really do look like that(i.e. the Twilight movies)
Don't go near Seattle if you want something like that unless you're rich. Seattle and the surrounding areas are heavily populated, so no forest areas.
Infact you may want to just take a summer roadtrip across the coast until you find a town you like.

Seattles fucking dogshit
That pic is more rural. If you want that you cant live in a city, period. Go Montana or Alaska and accept that youre going to live somewhere smallish.
