      I would honestly not want to live anywhere else. Western Washington is the best place someone could ever grow up. There's not natural disasters that we have to watch out for, and plus it's beautiful here. Whoever thinks of Washington as just a state that rains all the time, has never lived here. The winters aren't to harsh, and the summers are gorgeous!

      Washington State has the highest minimum wage in the country, with job opportunities continuing to open up. I will be earning my Associates in Business Transfer degree in June of 2015 and I have already been able to secure a job at an accounting firm that is willing to train me in all areas of the job for when I get my Bachelors degree, so that I will be able to easily find a permanent job. I really feel that it is pretty easy to get a job in this area if you're willing to work hard.
      I know plenty of people that exercise on a daily basis and are very healthy. Of course though, there are always people that doesn't eat healthy or take care of themselves because of various reasons. The hospitals here are great. I've never had a problem getting in to see a doctor when need be.
