Sorry that this is a little off topic, but I don't know where to find good info besides my brothers in arms here at OCDO.
My wife and I will probably be moving to Washington within the next 12 months or so and I have some questions!
We will initially be renting, probably in the Seattle area (give or take 20-30 miles) while my wife finishes up school. When she is done, however, the time will be upon us to buy (read: build) a house and have kids! I would love to stay and settle down in Washington, but don't know where would be the best for us.
What I am looking for:
- Fairly rural (read: affordable and quiet)
- 1/2 to 2 acres
- not more than 1 hour away from a larger city (Costco, WalMart, etc...)
- Near mountains -- in the mountains would be fantastic, but not more than 20-30 minutes away from hiking and camping
Can you guys give me any ideas on where to start looking? We would love to buy the land ASAP (like when we first move up there) so we can start paying on it right away.
Can you recommend any good Real Estate sites I could look at?
