What company? (Feel free to PM me if you want) I may have some insights for you about engineering in this area.

She’s not wrong. Most who come to this area feel like it’s a big improvement over what they came from, kindness included. I’d say it’s gotten noticeably ruder (especially on the roads) in the last 7 years though.

I weep for how this area was 40 years ago as I remember it, there’s no going back.

Yep, it's not what it was even a few years ago.

Still wouldn't live anywhere else.

Welcome, OP!

I’m sure you’re a good guy and all, and if it was just you and a few buddies, nobody here would have a problem with it. However, it seems like half of Spokane does the same thing. Sometimes 50% of the vehicles I see at our Costco and restaurants and on our roads, have Washington plates. We have enough congestion and issues over here without bringing in tons of extra people every single day. And to say nothing of what I see out in our national forest and campgrounds and state parks. Again, mostly Washington plates.

Why do they go to Costco in CDA? I heard groceries have no sales tax in WA?

I have no idea, just sayin what I am seeing. Maybe getting stuff other than food so lower sales tax? Maybe they feel like it’s safer/cleaner?

welcome to the club.  I bailed out of the Portland burbs 3 years ago and moved my biz up 2 years ago and haven't set foot in that state in almost exactly 2years.  I'm up by Spirit lake.  Being from Moscow Originally it was like coming home.  Living up here is a lot more work but its way better in many respects compared to the Portland area.  Only downer is the lack of good restaurants.  I miss my Bahn Mi and Japanese food.  But I will pay that price to not have to deal with the douchebaggery.
