two on the east side of the Cascades.

To avoid a nasty vehicle licensing surprise, read throught the USE TAX section
https://www.dmv.org/wa-washington/ca...-to-Washington
Our gas tax is a pretty high rate, making gassing up a vehcile pricy.
pollen allergies is an issue on the west sides, particularly in spring.
to the mods: USE TAX is capitalized on the web site, and is why I capitalized it. I'm shouting at no one. Regstering a vehicle in another state to avoid the sales tax comes with a huge fine. Sooner or later a neighbor will complain.
