Then why would you care about a freeway to Walla Walla?

Leaving for job reason, or just tired of area?

Me and my mother want to be closer to my sister in Austin, Texas, I also feel it would be easier for people who regularly travel from Walla Walla to the Tri Cities on a freeway instead of it being a highway for 2/3 of the way.

Gotcha, didn’t mean to be too personal but am always interested in why some leave this growing area.

Bring back logging and grazing the forests.
I would bring Waffle House to Washington State.

I'd bring myself back to Washington state because I love it there.

Dear happygrrrl, please mind YOUR own business. Most people explain why they disagree with what someone wrote or they ignore it and scroll down to the next comment. You did neither and attacked me instead. What's your problem?

With the addition of mass work from home it looks like Washington went from one of the most moved to states in previous years to one of the more moved FROM states, at least according to this U-Haul study; which funny enough is often a cited “study” in many of the large publications’ coming and going type articles.

I guess the absolute ludicrous state of the area’s largest and most important city, continued idiocy in Olympia, and SoCal COL (at least on the wet side) aren’t appealing if you’re not tied to a DT Seattle office and have flexibility to be elsewhere.

Oregon, California, New York, and Illinois were also in the lower half. It’d be nice if the west side woke up and realized the mass vagrancy that’s so tolerated there will inevitably harm the state permanently ala Detroit/Michigan

We agree on this one tg509. The future will indeed allow many more to work from home, a trend even before covid. Covid has just sped it up. The big cities will need to fight to keep their populations. While I don’t think Seattle and Portland are in the same spot as Detroit, they will need to make changes to keep their populations from shrinking. Better policing, lower rents would be at the top of the list.

Million Dumpsters needed to carry off the trash... or a wave of the wand. It will take yrs to recover from the damage done to parks and roadside landscaping from homeless camps. (To say nothing of ecological soil damage... businesses could never get by with that. )

One wand wave is not gonna cover it. (Nor 3 wishes), or an oil lamp.
The trash, and furniture along the roads.....it’s never been this bad.
