[quote=Anonymous]It's because the calculator compares dc and inner suburbs with a big swath of the Seattle area. There are areas like West Seattle or Everett that aren't expensive, but would be a frustrating commute. I have friends who commute by rail from Tacoma which is totally affordable and a nice mid sized city with a great culture of its own. But, looking for a teaching job in WA is hard. I think one big cost of living difference is that people don't care about money as much over there; people do a lot of outdoor activities; wear jeans and fleece sweatshirts everywhere; buy micro-brews not fancy cocktails. And your friends won't likely make much more than you. So it'll be a change and your husband might need to think about career change but if you want to live there, you can make it work for 80.
