    Are there any current or former American residents on the forums? 

     

    Moving to the US in the next few months. We are interviewing in Bellingham, Bremerton, Yakima, Boise, Pocatello and Missoula. 

     

    Has anyone else live in one of those places and care to share their experience?

      I live in Seattle. Bellingham and Bremerton are nice.  If you live in Bremerton, you can take the ferry over to Seattle.  It’s about a 55 minute ferry ride.  And you can catch Kraken games, especially when the Canucks come to town.
       

      Bellingham is close to the border and you can catch Canucks games in Vancouver.  
       

      I’ve been to Boise and Missoula. There’s really not a lot to do in Boise and Missoula.  

       

      Where are you living now and what prompted you to move to the US in a few months?

      We are really outdoors oriented so I think we'll find plenty to do around Boise and Missoula! 

      You feel like those cities are lacking amenities? We leave to see Boise tomorrow. 

      We are moving because my wife is an American family doctor. We just started a family. We have a 4 month old! Being a family doctor in BC is really unsustainable (low pay, constantly on call, really hard to take holidays) so we are coming south. Currently live in northern BC.

      Is there anything you like about Bremerton and Bellingham besides the access to hockey games? Haha

      I am an outdoors person as well.  I took day trips to Boise and Missoula, but I didn't find them somewhere I'd live. I do like eastern WA like Spokane and surrounding areas. 

       

      I like Bremerton and Bellingham because they're away from Seattle.  I'm not much for Seattle, and I like nature and outdoors and community oriented.

    Is there anywhere outside of the greater Vancouver and Victoria areas that you can golf year round?

      many years ago, smithers started playing snow golf. you could use any ball (like tennis ball) and any kind of club (like a hockey stick). i think they put a stake in the snow to shoot for. if you hit it, the hole was done. i think it lasted for a couple of years until the novelty wore off. they played it on our golf course.

      a lady from here made the sun paper. she was quite buxom and was showing lots of cleavage. she hit a tree with her shot, it ricocheted off a tree and landed in her bosom. her picture in the paper had the caption, do i play it where it lies? put smithers on the map.

      I'll be up there for a ski trip over the Christmas break!  I'm not heartbroken to miss out on the snow golf.  I have a challenging enough time finding my ball in the summer months!
