If you’re living in WA and are stuck indoors for 9 months than you’re doing something very wrong. Enjoy Florida

Oh, I never said we were stuck indoors, just trying to make sense of it. We lived in Hawaii for 7 years and had a much better experience getting to know locals. We'll always love Washington, just wish people were more friendly while we lived there. Thank you for the well wishes in Florida. We're enjoying it very much so far. Take care

Yeah generally Washingtonians don’t want to associate with anyone who hasn’t lived there for a decade. People are very friendly to other locals.

That's exactly what we were told upon moving there. My wife has a high-school friend who lived out in North Bend for 9 years and they still hadn't made any strong connections. I get it, people stick with their own, especially in the PNW.
