I read your story wrong...you just want to Visit!!! Haha. I recommend to everyone to make sure to do the ferry ride to Orcas Island. It's worth it.

Its an amazing place. Everything is tech there and that's mainly why i love it. Its hella expensive.

I live in Seattle. Its a wonderful place to live. Its more affordable to live in the South side and there are plenty of small towns within 15 minutes of Seattle proper to choose from. If you ever make the move and want advice let me know. I made the big move from CA 8 years ago and never looked back. Good luck!
