Kirkland, WA Shooting Clubs

Before they closed the guys at WSI told me they were going to be re-opening in around 10 months in Renton, they didn't say exactly where but the owner already owned the property and was building the place from the ground up.

Wades is a good range, they used to have bowling pin matchs there every week, I'm not sure what they do now but I'm sure there are some matchs going on.

What is a good town/city...

for a retiree to consider moving to near the Seattle area? I lived in Washington from 1982-91 (Tacoma, McChord, Steilacoom, Federal Way, Bellevue, then finally Everett). I moved to Massachusetts in 1991 for a job and may be retiring as soon as Sep 2004. I need to start thinking about where I want to settle and the Pacific Northwest is at the top of my list.

FPrice,

Check out the July 2003 issue of Money magazine. It lists Bellingham, WA as one of the best places to retire. Not exact in Seattle but your retirement dollars will go a lot farther.

I second Bellingham and the surrounding area. It has the amenities of a small city, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the state.

Also consider the peninsula sunbelt. Sequim has the most sunshine in Western Washington. Port Townshend is rich in culture and history.

If you want more isolation, Whidbey Island is great, especially the middle part. Plus easy access to Everett, and all of the cities listed above. My wife, a local gal that has been to all these cities, says it is her favorite place on Earth.

If you have a lot of cash, are non-allergic to Yuppies, and/or are plain weird, consider the San Juan Islands.

I could do Bellingham. How is the Sedro Wooley area right now?

Hmmm, let's see.

A lot of cash.

Nope.

Non-allergic to Yuppies.

No problem. I can irritate them more than they irritate me.

Plain wierd.

Nope. Just regular weird.

I had forgotten about Whidbey Island. That could be a possibility.

I HAVE to get back there and look around for a while.
