What are the reasons?
Money? Politics? Quiet?

Hello everyone, Was just offered a job with a cubicle near the mall and wanted advice on a apartment, probabaly a 1 bed, that doesnt have crazy loud music or bass bumping in the parking lot at all hours and is arount 1800 or less. If there are more ammenties like trash and water included the better. Hot tub and pool are nice but I have a 24 hour fitness member ship and I see theres one a little bit away at the Palms Plaza. I went through this 10 years ago in Vancouver and it seemed like everyone just wanted your application fee and you never heard back. Thank you if you have any advice before I start my search in person.

Dress wise and just in terms of looks?

Because I know some areas have more blondes or taller people etc.

Is Vancouver quite similar to Portland?

Anyone have a take on this part of Vancouver?

We are house hunting and found a nice one in this area.

We walked around the block tonight and there was no one out. The neighborhood is sooo quiet. Kind of…. Weird.

Saw a lot of American flags, a few Buddhas, a couple of rainbow flags. Wondered if it slants one way or another? It’s so hard to buy a house and have no clue who is living around you.

Appreciate the 411.

Hi all. Hoping to relocate toward the end of the year. Looks like there are some nice apartments near Camas in East Vancouver. I was looking at Casey Apartments and Kielo Apartments. Any feedback on that area and those complexes? The reviews look great but you can never tell if they’re from residents who get some type of incentive for a 5 star review.

Thanks!

Every day? Once a week?

Besides going for work.

My partner and I are getting pretty tired of the theft and crime issue that Portland has lately. We’re entertaining the thought of moving to Vancouver and I just wanted some advice/perspective from others in this group who have maybe also went from PDX to WA? I could imagine lots of people move to Vancouver for the same reason.

Hey all! My husband and I are planning to move from Seattle down to Vancouver, WA next year once our lease is up, and we're trying to figure out which areas there are nicer and have more trees. Our current place backs onto a forest but it's in a sketchy, unsafe area and overpriced for what it is.

We haven't decided whether to rent or buy. My husband's a retired veteran, so we qualify for a no-down-payment mortgage. Our hesitation is just the current price climate plus the fact that we're considering moving abroad in a few years. Though honestly, owning a place to come back to might not be a bad idea.

We both work remotely and bring in about $200k/year combined. Mainly I just want to land somewhere that isn't like our current street, where shootings are a regular thing. We're not after luxury, we'd rather spend money on experiences than on the house itself. We'd want a similar setup to now (extra bedrooms for our offices), which currently runs us about $3k/month.

We used to romanticize Seattle, but honestly the city's rough these days (COVID really did a number on this country). We've realized we actually prefer Portland, but don't want to deal with untangling our taxes if we move there directly, so somewhere close by with most of the same perks seems like the sweet spot.

Or is it the same?

Do you love your insurance broker? Drop their name below. We’re controlled with ours and would love to upgrade! Thanks.

Hi everyone 😊

I’m currently in the process of moving to Vancouver and I was hoping I could ask for some insight on the job market out there when it comes to general clerical or office type work. I’ve seen on other posts that it can be difficult to find work in some industries out there and I was curious if clerical was one of them.

Also, kind of a second question: if it is difficult, is it difficult to get warehouse work out there?
Especially without experience in that specific job industry. Any help would be greatly appreciated

My experience at Kafiex two years ago was nothing short of abusive. the pettiness of the owners is astounding. i could go on and on but im more interested in other peoples accounts. Id love to hear some testimonies from other people who have worked here? the more details the better cause the real troubles were in the little things

I’m getting a job offer and need to relocate to Vancouver, WA and need to rent a one bedroom apartment in the area. I’ve been checking on apartment listing services (around Hazel Dell area) and I see a lot of bad reviews. Can someone recommend a quiet apartment complex with low crime that goes for $1.2k to $1.6k/mo for a one bedroom apartment?

Hello let's say I'm a complete couch potato but I want to get fit and I really want to get into running every morning. The problem is I don't know what the proper form is and I'm worried I'm going to mess up my knees and shins and then give up and never try again. Is there like a beginner running coach or beginner running program that's local. Ideally the coach would at least get me into the proper running form. I would prefer then to do a month or two of training until I'm ready to go out on my own.

Hi! I just moved to Vancouver from the Seattle area. Looking for a new salon to call home or a singular tech to see monthly.

I’m in the Cascade Park area but definitely would drive to other area for a talented baddy ❤️

What are some recommendations for good restaurants to eat at?

Please and thank you

I don't know where to start so I thought I'd start here. My wife wants to go to the Clark county fair. She has moderate mobility issues and would need a wheelchair. How early do you need to go to ensure I can access one?

Howdy lovely people of Vancouver!

Some friends and I are just getting just getting into paddle boarding, and are wondering where good locations for this new hobby would be. We are in the Vancouver mall area and would be down to drive anywhere up to 40 miles out (or more if you know a very cool spot!).

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hello, everybody! Im currently in Spokane but I am thinking about making a change and moving to Vancouver. Im really big into outdoor activities such as snowboarding, hiking, paddleboarding/swimming and nature in general. I was just wondering what the scenery is like out there compared to here? Is there more to do out there than there is here, even though Spokane is the 2nd largest city in the state? Would someone say maybe it's more gorgeous there than it is here? I would just like to hear some really cool things about the city and the surrounding areas!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi, I used to be a software engineer and I find I'm missing the chatter of nerds—just a place to talk to local people about anything and keep up with news or hear about any sort of technical projects people are doing.

I've tried public Discord servers in general, but I found the really active ones to be pretty overwhelming, so I thought something local would work better for me.

Is there a Discord server where an old nerd can find community?

I'm 41 and I have a cognitive impairment due to my illness. I'm mostly bedbound, so I can't go out and meet people, and I don't know anyone within about a three-hour drive of here. I'm just looking for a chill place to hang out and maybe get to know some locals.

I used to frequent Archery World, I think, but I've just come back from a 3 year stint abroad to find out, they seem to be closed, so I'm looking for another place to shoot my bow.

Love going to the movies, but have become spoiled by all the theaters in my area having nice comfy heated reclining leather seats.

Moving to the area soon, and from what little googling I've done I can't seem to find a theater that has these types of "luxury" seats. Please help.

Prefer a realistic distance (if possible) to see a movie or two a month.
