Why I chose Yakima over bigger cities

Hey, I'm originally from Los Angeles and It's a a smaller city city with about 96,810 people. Median household income is $59,228, which feels about average for the area. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Has anyone dealt with this?

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is pet-friendliness. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in South. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Hope this helps!.
