Anyone else love living in Washington?
I'm single, late 30s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Washington sits at 159.8 per 100K. With a population of 15,946, Washington is a small town. Rent is about $1,087/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events

The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up.
