Moving from California to Washington

Washington state is among the top five popular states preferred by California locals for various reasons, including beautiful scenery, colder weather, high tech industries, and a diversified growing economy. The evergreen state is one of the few places in the world that offers diverse experiences from its stunning island retreats, coastal rain forest, snowcapped mountain, and culturally diverse urban areas.

Helpful moving tips and what to know:

– Prices are not likely to fluctuate at a specific time of the year. Renting a moving truck will cost you about the same all year round. Therefore, you can move at any time.

– The wettest time of the year is November through January.

– Be prepared for rain and snow if you propose to move in the fall or winter. The temperature can drop below 20 degrees in the winter.

– Bear in mind there is high traffic during sporting events due to the proximity of the Seattle Seahawks and Mariner’s stadium to downtown.

Cost of Living: The amount spent on a house, groceries, utilities, transportation, and healthcare depends entirely on the area in which you move. Urban places like Seattle will cost more than in rural areas.

– Washington has one of the best wage rates within the country, and taxes are more favorable than California.

Housing: Prices fluctuate. There are no price controls on the apartment rental rate. Suppose you come across a lovely apartment while hunting, grab it. Vacant apartments do not stay on the market long.

Climate: The summer is relatively dry, with an average of 75-degrees Fahrenheit. The winters are wet, cold, and snowy. Eastern Washington is protected against the weather extremes by cascade and the Rocky Mountains.

Education: Washington is home to topnotch public and private universities, and these universities offer scholarships and affordable tuition to Washington residents.
