We moved to Chehalis, WA about a year ago. We are about 90 min north of Portland, OR and about the same distance south of Seattle and we absolutely love it here! Chehalis is a small town, the seat of Lewis County and it is a very friendly area, low crime. In general, after 20 years in the Bay Area of CA, we love being in an area that has 4 actual seasons. We love the weather (yup--even the rain!)Of course we find the cost of living much better than that of the Bay Area. After selling our home in CA and paying off that loan, we still had enough to buy a home outright in WA---yay no mortgage!
