I was raised in snow country so this did take me a bit of getting used to, but I really didn't miss shoveling it to get out of the driveway. The comfortable climate also meant my arthritis didn't hurt much, but if it had, I knew that there were plenty of great medical facilities available for myself and my family's needs.

There is a very low unemployment rate in Redmond, Washington and most of the kids go on to college and get a masters degree. With so much technology there is plenty to do in and around town. Prices are very reasonable and for those who commute to Seattle, it's only a short drive. Read Less
