I'm in Seattle half the time and Eastern Washington in another home we
own the other half if not traveling.
We prefer Eastern Washington so far as recreation, traffic and ease of
getting around and the streets are better as well.
Food is a little cheaper and housing is about half what it is in Seattle
and the politics are conservative Republican.

I spent a summer at Millington at
NATTC NAS Memphis and I really hated the weather and Memphis where
sailor was spelled " s-h-i-t "
Yards had signs " sailors and dogs stay off the grass "
King Cotton Hotel would beat on the room door at 2:00am to see if you
had a girl in your room.
Shelby County United Good Neighbors had a deal with the base that if you
didn't give a sizable chunk of your pay check to those ass holes the
entire base would have no liberty per the base Commander as the Navy was
going to be 100%% or nothing.
Right friendly town...
As the Cuban missile crisis mounted in 62 we had hundreds of cargo
aircraft unloading tanks and trucks on North side.
The locals thought Kennedy was going to clamp down on the racists in
Memphis and started driving up and down the highway in front of the base
waving huge Confederate Flags. The Navy Security stayed cool until a
local fired a shot. Then all hell broke loose when the Shore Patrol
stopped the cars at gun point and the State Police came in as well as
other cars from Shelby County law enforcement and guys wearing duty
belts and .45's were all over the place.
We never saw another demonstration again.
That was an ugly summer and I accelerated electronics school to get out
of there back to Seattle where I could breath the fresh on shore breeze.
