Parts of Washington are still relatively inexpensive. The prices I see
for water front land in BC are way lower than on our side of the border.
I consider the weather pretty warm, but I have lived the last 30 years
in Alaska with 20 of them in Nome. Canadian prices for all things are
lower, I suspect that their taxes are higher. There are a couple of very
good steel boat builders in BC. Weather doesn't mean much to me, lack of
crowding and beauty out the window means a lot. Fortunately it does mean
a lot to others which is why there is not much crowding up here.
