MODERATOR EDIT:
I edited some of the replies. Political discussion and commentary is still a banned topic. LEAVE IT OUT do the discussion. I’m sure the OP can read between the lines.

I’m looking for advice from you good folks about relocating to another area. There isn’t a better, kinder group of like-minded people to ask for ideas. Each day we become increasingly serious about leaving this state. I’d rather not poke at the reasons for leaving or engage in state-bashing. Just let me say this is no longer the state of years past. It’s time to make a break for a place more compatible with our values. We have no desire to move somewhere and bring in outside values. Instead we’re looking for a place with the goodness that vanished from Western Washington.
Some of the characteristics on our punch list are:
- Conservative attitudes and government policies, friendly people
- Climate: No scorching hot or humid summers, cold and snowy winters are fine
- Recreation: Outdoor interests, public land access (not leased only), a good gun club nearby
- Density: Towns with 2000 – 20,000 people, no big cities, looking for single family housing with an acre or two of land
- Medical services: Not a huge concern now, with age the needs will be more likely
- Don’t cares: Spectator sports, fancy restaurants, shopping centers
Possible areas are Idaho, Western Montana, Wyoming, Utah. We’re definitely willing to consider other areas that come to our attention.
Any ideas you’re willing to share will be very welcome.
