The 10 Best Places To Live In Washington State 

This was clearly made by someone who's never been to Washington.

Seattle has "short commute times" 😂 Dude, it takes an hour to get from Seattle to Seattle 😂

You don't want to move here, it rains all the time and when it doesn't rain it's cloudy and gray. Commute? It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to go 20 miles.

"beautiful year round weather" in Tacoma? That's when I knew she was full of crap.

Damn who ever made this ain’t ever been here 🤡

The only thing more disturbing than the choice of cities on this list is the woman's voice narrating it.

Western Washington could be almost considered a rain forest. Eastern Washington can almost be considered a desert or a wasteland kinda. Western wa is beyond beautiful, but you pay for this beauty in the form of rain Although I’ve moved away after decades of living in both west & east Washington... it’s the most beautiful state I’ve ever lived in.

This is hysterical! Thanks for the laugh 😂

Lived here 50 years,this person has no idea what he's talking about.

The person who made this obviously has never seen any of these cities 😂😂

All the dislikes are from people who live in Washington

I’ve lived in Washington my whole life...& this list has got me dead, whoever made this list doesn’t know washington at all. Horrible cities 🤣🤣🤣

They make Washington look like a perfect place 😂, who else was born and raised in Washington

Tacoma is a nightmare. I lived in Washington all my life. You dont want to live in Tacoma.

Very nice video on WA. Looking forward to more such videos. Thanks

Thank you for showing us..beau vid

Seattle is the worst place to live why didn't you talk about the crime rate or all the homeless people and the slums .

you seriously pronounced the name of Mt. Rainier wrong

I think my favorite part of this video is when she said Seattle has a great school district. 😂😂 Mt. Rainer? That hurt my ears hearing Rainier said like that. I grew up in Kent for 24 years.

Port Townsend. Water and Mountain Views galore. Victorian architecture. Beaches.

Who would like to move to Seattle first needs to watch Komo 4 News documentary “Seattle is dying”!

Who the heck made this video. Clearly you have never lived in these cities

ABSOLUTELY, thank you, good time for you, wonderful.

Nice for me, thanks.

I live in Washington. I agree that Seattle is a great place to live....as long as you love the smell of urine.

I've lived in Washington my whole life, specifically the Kent/Covington area and I would have to say Seattle ain't it. Has some cool areas, some cool restaurants, some sights to see, but never would want to live in it. Walla Walla, Bellingham, Blaine, White Salmon, Mercer Island, Redmond, Maple Valley, Ocean Shores, Leavenworth, Tri Cities, all better places then Seattle to visit or live.

Washington state= My Home State

I like how they show the Seattle skyline when they talk about Kirkland. And the pronunciation of Mt. Rainer!!

Olympia hobo and meth mecca

This person is reading facts off internet, I've lived in Washington my entire life and I've NEVER witnessed the utopia of Washington they're describing. Seattle... used to be a fun place to visit, now it's not even worth going too. Let alone ALL the imported tech employees ruining the cool vibe and culture our state once had. Notice they didn't tell you it would take 1.5 hrs by car, longer by bus/train just to travel less than 30 miles, and that's if there's no accidents or construction, didn't say we rank among the worst drivers in the country. They also didn't explain our Seattle-ized economy. People sold their cars for uber/Lyft because parking anywhere is outrageous! Uber/ Lyft is cheaper (even 20 miles into cities) paying both ways, than daily parking rates. They didn't talk about how a studio will cost $2,000-$4,000/ month near these tech locations, nor did they talk about how house prices for a fixer upper, 3 bedroom 1 bath 1950's rambler, not updated since 1950, will cost at least $600,000 within 15 min of Amazon/ Microsoft, or Boeing (etc.) Seattle. Yes we're within 3.5hrs by ferry and car to Pacific Ocean (if you can sail here you can sail anywhere) and 1-2hrs by car to mountains (if you can hike here you can hike anywhere, much easier), unless it's first fire season, when our usually cleaner city air becomes worse that Bejiing! The cost to live here has quadrupled + since 2010 when Amazon moved in. Plus they didn't tell you, there's a 621 mile tectonic plate stuck with an oceanic plate just 100 miles or less off our coastline, (40% chance of creating our own Japan or Shri Lanka event, only much worse, because we're not even close to prepared for it. On average, the fault produces a 9.0+ megaquake every 240 and it's been 319 years since the last one. They didn't tell you were in an area with active volcanoes (MT. ST. HELENS)..... 4 seasons? What, misty rain, grey and dry, get your kayak ready, and WTF 90-100 can't breathe haze of Bejiing. Hoping every winter climate change stays steady so theirs no snow in winter and people can still drive, just not to a grocery store because the shelves ste empty. This was a waste of time watching.

Reading these comments makes me want to visit the state for myself to see how it really is. I know a ton of these issues are true, but part of me feels like Washingtonians are keeping the good stuff from us while screaming about the bad in order to keep new people away. Which I definitely don’t blame them for. Californians are leaving their state and contaminating every place they move to. I wish I could’ve been alive to experience Washington during the golden years.

Wow beautiful amazing ❤️ Washington

They clearly haven’t lived in any of those cities😂 I wasn’t expecting Seattle to be on there bc it’s kinda the shittiest city in Washington

Okay I’ve lived in Washington my whole life and Pullman should definitely not be on the list😂😂😂

I was born and raised in Washington State, I'm from Vancouver. I've been living in Vancouver, WA my whole life and still live in Vancouver.

Whish you happy New year 2021 🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸

I live in Washington state and this “made up” list was definitely thought up by very wealthy and likely political people who are looking to build their voter base.

A locals review, just thoughts that come to mind. 10. Olympia. Cheap to live, but just about nothing to do. There are some good local restaurants run by small business owners. It's close to the military base. 9. Spokane. (best for jobs, retiree) Decent to live but on the other side of the state, not much to do compared to Seattle. Lots of wineries, hot in summer, snow in winter. It's like living in the midwest but in Washington. Usually called Spocompton 8. Bellingham. (best place to retire) Cheap to live, honestly just put Seattle and Bellevue in the middle of a bullseye and the farther you're from the middle the lower the prices are. But the jobs are in the middle. Close to Canada, kind of a sleeper town, more people go to Spokane from Seattle then they do Bellingham. College down, but not as bad as Pullman. 7. Tacoma. (best place to find a job) Literally smells like manure, all the time. Ruston is awesome, but there is hilltop which has parts the cops don't go because there's so much gang activity. 6. Pullman. College town, if you're not in college there is no reason to live here other then prices or loving WSU? 5. Kirkland. Awesome town, expensive to live. There's a community event every week and a great waterfront. 4. Bellevue. (best to raise a family, find a job) The richest town, beautiful nightlife. Lots of designer stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Everything is expensive though. 3. Bainbridge Island. Don't know much, but you're on an island so you live here to get out of the city, 2. Redmond. (best to raise a family) Redmond is where Microsoft is, huge Indian population, lots of good food and local bars. 1. Seattle. (best to raise a family, find a job) Lot's to do, lots to see, but way too expensive to live here. Think New York. Live in the suburbs and just visit if theres something you want to do.

Thank you for your vedio

Beautiful 🤩 Thank God I’m already a resident of Washington state ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

The #1-5 cities on the list are in truth the MOST EXPENSIVE cities in WA to (try) to live in! High taxes, nightmare traffic and transit, homeless everywhere. A great place to visit tourist traps, cruise in/out, spend on overpriced everything, then go home. Yes, I've lived here since 1960 and saw the development of it all but moved and happily raised my family in a small WA town.

Seattle #1? Lmao, no. Just no.

Awesome

I was raised in Sunnyside washington from childhood to graduation then lived in seattle while at the U OF W. I left in 1973 and reading the comments I'm shocked at the negative changes. It saddens me to know it has changed so much. My last visit was in 2009 only 1 week.

Richland ? Pasco ? Kennewick? Are you kidding me! Tri cities is better than most of these

You should be a good tech specialist to live in a nice neighborhood of Washington. Otherwise, you will live under Seattle bridge because $12/hour is definitely not enough to pay rent.

Oh beautiful Washington lived there for 40 yrs. Miss it.

Very nice so beautiful Washington USA si clean

Lmfaoff FREEATTLE!!! If you love poop and needles downtown by all means move to this GEM!

Richland,Pasco and Kennewick better known as the Tri Cities is awesome! 3 river coming together for boating and fishing with outstanding weather! Low crime rate lots of shopping and whatever else you would like to do! Tri-Cites should be number one!

Seattle is paradise. Please move to Seattle and help continue the decade long tradition that is making Seattle the absolute heaven that it is. In fact, any of the cities mentioned here are definitely places to move to. Every single city not making the list here is a hell hole unworthy of a cent of your money. Seattle, absolutely.

Happy new year and god bless and the whole world 💞💚💛💙🙏🙏🙏

Yeah,....go live in Tacoma that is sound advice

Lmao sure these are “great cities” but they don’t talk about Cost of living, crime rates, rate of homelessness, or many other problems. I love olympia but I wouldn’t want anyone to move here under false pretenses.

I was born and raised in Seattle and Tacoma left 14 years ago and next month on my way back to Washington

I lived in Seattle/ Ballard for over 40 years but moved to Arizona almost 20 years ago, wouldn't move back ,love it here in the Southwest.

I’ve lived in Washington my whole life and I would not put Tacoma, Seattle, Olympia and especially not Pullman on there. What about Kennewick, Richland or Pasco? way better than Pullman

How the hell this list overlooked Mercer Island is incomprehensible.

Thank you for NOT tipping people off to the truly gorgeous places in Washington state where people are kind and generous, happy, and realize that Wa is the best kept secret in country.

Excellent video, Washington State! My Nephew and his Wife and his Son just moved to Tacoma, and they love it! I plan to buy a Tiny House and move to a Tiny House Community in Washington within the next year! Loved this Video! Thank you!

Ah seattle home of the homeless people endless traffic and horrible smells with a bonus high cost of living

I just watched it and I read some of the comments, the comments are right the person that created this video has never been to any of these places and my guess is never been to this state.

Wonderful place,

You forgot to add: "Seattle, the homeless capital of the state, where you'll bear witness to public defication and urination. Also, the city is run by fanatically anti-police council members who refuse to criminalize anti-social behaviors. If you love the way San Fransisco is being governed, you'll love Seattle!"

Total False Advertisement

Washington state it's a beautiful place!!!!! Thank you around the world!!!!

Gotta agree with the other comments. I live in Tacoma and can't wait to get out of here when I retire.

Oh Washington! Perfect! I don't live there! * goes onto some random website for ten minutes, blindly scrolls through it, then makes a video *

I Live In Spokane Washington 2 Years Ago We Had 62 Inches Of Snow.

Someone really screwed the pooch on this list.....

I’m chillin in here

Whoever created this video -- never actually spent much time here -- or did so more than 10 years ago. Lived here 41 years. Where is this "fantasy" land? I don't recognize the place she is describing. Neglected to mention the crime, homelessness and rain. So much for authenticity.

Affordable cost of ,living doesn't exist here

Lost 10.02 min of my life watching this video 🤦‍♀️

The evergreen state with such a beautiful climate...

Man, I live in the Midwest,. And Everytime I think about relocation my mind always drifts to Seattle or somewhere in the state of Washington. But reading all these comments from the people who actually live and grew up there....,it sounds like I'd be making a big mistake, thanks for the heads up.!***

Washington needs to fight for year round daylight savings! They voted on it and won but Inslee didn't approve it last l heard. More natural light is a good thing.

This is 2019..not 1975.. None of this is very accurate at all at this point.

“The most common jobs in Tacoma are in administration and management” Military base south of the town with 200,000 people on it: **laughs in oil**

Tri Cities, Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Kirkland, Issaquah, North Bend, Redmond, Bothell places I lived and would live in.

Lived on San Juan Island ( SJI ) for a number of years , would rate it # 1 except durning the winter , tourist come over and drink all the water , most wells dry up in the winter . Lived in Ferndale just out side of B'ham , I would rate B'ham as # 2 . Seattle avoided it like the plague .

I would never live in Seattle, a studio is literally a $1000

When in Washington , get " Kallstrom Sweet Corn " . Sold roadside in Wenatchee , Quincy , Ephrata & Moses Lake . Farm located between George & Ephrata , Wa.

Beautiful place 😍

"You will be overwhelmed with feeling." Turned it off right there. Written and narrated by robot.

To me, Kirkland is the best city with Lake front public parks and restaurants along lake shore. It is an art city with many art displays on the street. Easy access to 405 highway. Home of Costco and Tableau.

How cool that RU-vid video you sent me, chris Geary that's right our country United states its heather

I worked in Seattle for like ten years .. it's glorious.

Only if ur into High taxes expensive housing... 2hours each way to work... Let's not forget the the smells of pee and tweekers on every corner.

I think she forgot to mention the poop 💩 all over Seattle 😂

This person definitely needs to explore more.

Those Kirkland views from Alki beach in Seattle are unbeatable.

Find a job/living in Seattle?😭😂😭 my mom making over 23 a hour with over time couldn’t even afford living in Seattle. So how can a big family? Unless you’re a millionaire then sure...

"Olympia has an exceptional quality of life, without a high cost of living." LMFAO. WUT

Tacoma has "Beautiful year-round weather" yeah, right ;D

I think the best place to live at in Washington is Silverdale It’s really nice but I don’t live in the suburbs I live in the forest I highly recommend it.

I’m born and raised in Tacoma Washington. I love living here!!

Nice to meet you❤️❤️❤️

Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond are the places I love to live.

Don't forget to tell them it rains 365 days a year - we have webbed feet and Bigfoot resides here. Remember the earthquakes and volcanic activity. And it has been ranked to get a Tsunami in the next decade. They forgot to tell you this is a rainforest area. Not a mild climate. The thunder and wind storms are crazy.
