I live in Seattle, but used to go to Canada a lot....
Blaine is a one horse town, cept the lost t he horse. The east side (of I-5) looks like a raggedy trailer park with houses, is 3 or 4 streets wide and 10 blocks long. The west side is 5 blocks wide and 6 blocks long and is the 'core' business district.
3 2 gas stations and a bank or two.
I will venture to guess she either works for a bank or the .gov, I really dont think there is much else. OK I take that back, they have opoened up some stuff off the truck crossing, think mini industrial park.
Only if her career depended on it
AND she made
five times my money would I even
consider living in Blaine (MG's aside, that just makes it a HELL NO!), but, opinions are like fingerprints, ymmv, fly down to Vancouver BC, and drive the 30 miles and check it out. You just may like it.
Good luck and let us know!
