Washington state question

[DaveHH]

It is in a place where the wind is not as bad as the rest of the Olympic peninsula. A banana belt if you will. Go 20 miles west and the wind blows you off the planet. My brother lives in Marysville just east of your location. He has a terrible time finding anyplace to shoot. Things to consider: It rains 200 days a year. There are so many ex-California liberals up there that it is a mess. Traffic near and around Seattle is far, far worse than LA. In many areas, using a wood stove anytime gets you a $200+ fine (see ex-Californians). There is a terrible meth problem up there centered in Granite Falls E/O Marysville. I would advise not making any decisions based on this time of the year. Come back in a few months and see what the weather is really like. If I sound pessimistic that is because my brother has been there for 30+years and knows the deal up there. I also was very seriously contemplating moving there at one time. My brother's experience and observation of how it has become California North changed my mind. I also have relatives that live in Gigs Harbor and Bellingham. You choice of Sequim is a good one.

To my knowledge, Full auto's or any of the parts are illegal in the state of Washington. You can have a suppressor. The west side is very liberal, so be prepared.

Thanks for the input guys.

Just back. It is a nice, quiet little town. Even though it is in northern WA it get less then 16" of rain and 5" of snow a year. It's called the blue hole or rain shadow. Seattle is south east 69 miles but it's a two hour drive. Not worth it for the bad elements.

The shooting range is privately owned and he is relaxed with what you bring.

Dave, you'll like this. A house we looked at is on the 14th fairway of Sunland. Two car garage and a third for the golf cart.

My interests are the three G's. Guns, Golf, Gambling (Texas Holdem). Nice shooting range, live on a golf course, and there is an Indian casino 10 miles away. No state income tax.

I came away impressed.
