This is good to know, I would like to move to WA in the next 2-3 years and have a few counties marked to explore. Sounds like I can probably cross this one off the list, Skagit & King are the two I'm hoping for

King County is not where you should aim either my friend.

Well there’s Seattle and Bellevue in King so idk probably want to check those out considering it’s where most of Washington lives, entertains, and conducts business.

Put the Tucker Carlson down lol. All major cities have homeless people, most neighborhoods are fine in Seattle and it’s beautiful

As someone who moved to Washington recently after living in two different large east coast cities, I’ve never felt as unsafe at night in a downtown as I have in Seattle and Portland. I’m a fairly large man and I’m constantly looking over my shoulder, especially in Pioneer Square. I like the area for the most part, though.

For sure, I’m not saying it’s not sketchy in some areas after dark. I’m saying if you’re visiting Washington State, King County is definitely a destination worth visiting because of all of the great restaurants, art, landscape, and attractions. The reason so many of us are piled into this area of Washington is not a coincidence.

Sure, my city has problems too. But Seattle is really screwed in many parts & doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.

The new mayor has done quite a bit recently tho, what do you mean? It sounds like you aren’t very up to date. He’s much tougher on homelessness and has massively increased funding for sweeps and cleaning.

Island County. Rural, beautiful, close enough to the cities.

Jefferson and Clallam counties are pretty spectacular. Amazing trees and forests covered in moss, hurricane ridge, Ruby Beach. That’s my 2 cents

We are in grays harbor county. It boast a population of about 70.000 . I was born and raised in atlanta and I prefer the small town quiet life. I'd say do you research and don't let some miserable 🐕‍🦺 talk ya pit of visiting this beautiful place.
