Yep, I'd like to move closer to the coast, but the housing

retired people are given credit for much of Florida's growth in recent
years.
I was taking a closer look at Eastern Oregon and Washington for >> one of our up coming trips. One of the things that struck me is that
it looks like most of the small towns have at least one RV park.

Yup, the coast up here too.... a friends Condo in Ocean Shores sold the
first day, for over listing price (and he is a Real Estate agent in that town).
Speaking of unaffordable housing, been to Bend lately? On the other end
is the dump known as Goldendale.

I lived in Bend for several years late in the last century, so I'm not a bit surprised by housing over there. Bend has been growing rapidly
for a long time. When I lived there you could get a permit to remodel a
home if you were saving at least one wall. I saw more than one old wall become part of a bigger new home. I worked on a remodel project for an
older home that had started out as a garage. It was worth remodeling
because you couldn't get a permit to build a new home in that spot. I
haven't been over there in several years, but we're planning a swinging through there in June.
Because we're headed to the Maryhill museum I also expect to swing through Goldendale next month. How bad is it? From a tourist's
perspective I couldn't see much reason for it to exist. They have a
barbecue joint that looks interesting.

As I recall, there's a neat telescope in Goldendale open to the public.
It was interesting.
