OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Lakewood. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..
