On the plus side it has pro sports and is right on the water

Hmmm, thanks for the input. I love what most people consider "miserable" weather, but not really into homeless hippie beggers. How is the housing market where you are? (if you don't mind me asking)

I assumed you lived near Gettysburg, right now I'm not too far from there. Very cool history!

I lived and worked at the battlefield for two summers, its my favorite place and would do anything to move back there.

Right now I live in a town of about 12k people 5 miles south of the canadian border called lynden. Its a nice, well kept town but has pretty expensive housing like seattle. Im renting a two bed, two bath 1200 sq ft town house on a golf course and pay 1200 a month. Its decent but not really worth that much.

I would love to go back in time and not buy my house. I was paying the same rent as you without the golf course before. Now my mortgage is well over twice as much and I don't even want my house. I would realisticly have an extra $1500 month if I kept renting. What was I thinking?
Well I thought I got a good deal because it was when the market just started to crash, I should have waited another year and saved another $60,000 like my neighbor did. I would sell today if I could get even close to what I owe.

Got a text from my wife saying the school in Seattle is beautiful!
She sounds really excited, well until I told her I got a speeding ticket this morning, then not so much. I should have kept that silent until she got home.
