My girlfriend and I are considering moving out west from michigan in the next year or so. What smaller cities/towns would be a good fit for a couple in their twenties, working full time but who enjoy live music, a decent night scene and wildlife? Washington is ideal as my brother lives in Seattle which it would be nice to be near to him. Thanks!

Drake came to the PNW during his 1579 circumnavigation reaching as far North as 48. Most of the expedition critical data such as latitudes, coastline sightings and travel times were severely obfuscated by an elizabethan secrecy order and little is known about his whereabouts. And yet people throughout the West Coast have long speculated on these whereabouts, but no longer do in spite of much fascination earlier on. Drake was involved earlier on in the slave trade. Could this be why he no longer generates interest? Has he been cancelled?

“Keep Ya Head Up” by Tupac speaks on everything happening today from women’s struggles to war to personal issues. As someone born in ’97, I’m right on the edge between Millennials and Gen Z, but I still connect with his message. It’s still true to this day.

If you read this: Learning is liberation from oppression.

The more you know the less they’re in control of you.

Stay safe & change the world for the better.

Ive lived in Anchorage, Eagle River, Chugiack. Northern Idaho. By Bonners Ferry, Priest River. Eugene, a coup,le places around Spokan briefly. So a lot of the Great North West. Ill put some pictures of the last hiking trip Silver Falls and the last camping trip on the coast last September the next time I post. This is a great find. I'm looking forward to posting and reading here. Thanks. I live in Portland Oregon now.

If anyone here is from Portland, Gold Beach, Cloverdale or the surrounding areas I'd love a chance to pick your brain!

The series I'm currently working on takes place in each of these places and I've unfortunately never been (even though I'd love to). I want my books to be really immersive as far as the setting goes. I'd really appreciate if anyone could give some info on:

• how you would describe the typical weather in early/mid April
• any landmark places or things that you think stand out from these places
• staple foods/experiences you think are noteworthy
• any other details you think define the area.

Thank you in advance! I love the pacific northwest and really want to do it justice.

Has anyone witnessed any deportations or arrest of immigrants while out and about? Ive been essentially quarantined in my house for months, while my daughter fights cancer. I see the news headlines but I cant imagine it actually going on out there. Is it happening? Is it just fabricated on the news?
