I'm the out door person, who loves the camping, fishing , and hunting. I did just a little research on Washington (State) i know the east side over the mountain is kinda like farm or desert, i know there are some area that are really windy like 30 mph winds, so is there a nice mild weather area that has some forest or great for people who enjoy the out doors?
some place that has decent jobs too, low crime rates would be a plus, affordable house
stats: I'm marry and have 3 little ones
work field: security, military, hope to be a DNR someday
Wife: works for Medtronic
Answer
Alright my kind of question!
So here is the basics.
Western Washington i.e. west of the Cascade Mountains is very moderate in weather and it rains most of the year, however most of it is a light misting kind of rain. If you chose the greater Seattle area you are in the Olympic Mountain Rain Shadow Convergence Zone so weather is impossible to predict more than a day or 2 in advance. If you live o the west side of the peninsula then you are in the rain forest and will get + or - 200in of rain a year. Poulsbo on the eastern side of the Olympic Mountains is the center of the Olympic Rain Shadow and is one the most mild places on the planet.
Eastern Washington i.e. East of the Cascade Mountains is much more extreme, you will have seasons meaning snow in the winter and heat in the summer, there are also the apple trees which smell fantastic. Eastern Washington is much more even in weather distribution unless you get the into the corner with the Rockey Mountains. Just remember than the further east you live of the Cascades the hotter, drier, and more desert like it will get.
When it comes to crime Western Washington cities are mostly spotty where there are areas of crime and healthy neighborhoods. Avoid the Tacoma area, crime is worse there and know that the further north you go the more rural it is. Stanwood is a newer city about 45-60 minutes driving time north of Seattle. Then there are areas like Bellvue which is nicer, however it is also much more expensive. Everett is one of those medium cities where there are rough areas and nice areas, but you can tell the City is trying to improve on itself, particularly around the College.
Eastern washington is much more rural and unless you move to the Tri-Cities or Near the WASU there are mostly smaller towns that will be divided into nicer areas and shady areas.
I would definitely recommend Western Washington, Everett area is reasonable or Marysville North of there, I'd say Stanwood Would be a good better bet. Do a little research and kind of get a feel for what your family needs and go with it. Just remember its not too difficult to vacation a weekend to Eastern Washington if you get old on the rain.
Hope it helps.

Need to find a camping place in Washington State?
male
My church's youth group is planning a summer camp for 3-4 days (weekend) in June or July. There is going to be from 60 to 100 people wanting to go there. We'd like to cook food ourselves. We'd much like there to be a chapel. Also we'd like the place to be not far from Tri-Cities, WA (hope you know where that is ;) Please help us find something soon so we could choose the dates.
I would be very thankful for campsites' names and helpful sites.
Thank you!
I'm serious
