Great Rural Towns in Washington to Retire or Buy Real Estate.
Want to find a rural town to get a mortgage on some real estate? Who doesn’t right? Today we are looking at great rural towns in Washington state.
A few things about rural Washington towns, they rarely have jobs so you have to bring one or not need one like most states, a lot of the mountain towns are a reasonable distance from healthcare, and the weather can be challenging.
The good news is no state income tax and it has the cheapest utility bills on average in the country. Natural gas, water, and especially electricity.
We are looking for that sweet spot with the towns in this video. It is a decent place to live that isn’t too close to any major cities, easy on the crime rate, not 5 hours away from a hospital or so far out they have horrible internet. Those things knocked a lot of sm...

Greater Idaho: Why Idaho Wants To Take Over Oregon And Eventually Washington and California Too
📝 Substack: https://geographyiseverything.substack.com/

🌳 Linktree for socials: https://linktr.ee/geographybygeoff
Oregon often feels like a progressive state, but once you get outside of Portland and Eugene, and especially beyond the Cascade Mountains, it gets very conservative. Because of this cultural difference, there's been a concerted effort to move the borders of Idaho to encompass many of Oregon's eastern counties. Here's why Idaho is angling to potentially take over many conservative counties in Oregon, Washington and even California.

The Aftermath of Washington's Territorial Wars (Washington's Woes V) : 2W1C S03E41
A lot of strongmen were made during Washington's Woes. A revolutionary. A renegade. A martyr. An old general. A politician turned-soldier.
The Territory of Washington's early years were bathed in blood. The region was embroiled in chaos and in the end, the United States pretty much had their way.
The names of the leaders of this time were not forgotten. The names of them live on in the memory of current Washingtonians as many things are named after them.
As for me, I'm trying to make a name for myself too. Currently I'm getting some minor repairs done on my charger so I can charge my phone and cameras with my motorcycle. I'm crossing over the Cascades one more time on my ride eastward.

We are looking for that sweet spot with the towns in this video. It is a decent place to live that isn’t too close to any major cities, easy on the crime rate, not 5 hours away from a hospital or so far out they have horrible internet. Those things knocked a lot of small towns off this list.
In the last video, I explained that not all states have 10 good rural towns and I don’t want to waste your time with some places that are a reach and shouldn’t be on the list. Got it? Get it? Good.

Because of this cultural difference, there's been a concerted effort to move the borders of Idaho to encompass many of Oregon's eastern counties.

The names of the leaders of this time were not forgotten. The names of them live on in the memory of current Washingtonians as many things are named after them.
As for me, I'm trying to make a name for myself too. Currently I'm getting some minor repairs done on my charger so I can charge my phone and cameras with my motorcycle. I'm crossing over the Cascades one more time on my ride eastward.
