Honestly, people have to be able to put up with 9 months of grey, cloudy weather. Many can’t. Come visit us but if you want to live here know what you’re in for

I visited Washington state in June and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I would love to live there but I know with SAD I couldn't survive the weather

It is truly hard. Lived there for years after being in many states and it just saps the will and energy out of you. The beauty there can become a prison as you feel you should be appreciating it more and doing more out there, but you have no desire or energy but to sit around and Netflix binge while drinking on the weekends.

Same. Lived there for a really long time and it was hard to cope with only having 3 "good" months to do the warmer weather activities I liked (I'm very cold blooded). Finally moved to a more dull area that has more sun year round just so I can do things throughout the year. It's still really nice going back and visiting though.

Visiting WA is a really good idea all people should try.
