That one surprised me as well.
So does my (step) daughter live in Spokane Valley. But she wants to move to CDA!
Good for her...EXCEPT, lower wages AND state income tax! She might want to look at those things before taking the plunge. What’s her motivation?
My daughter opted for Spokane Valley because of the zero income tax. Her boyfriend’s mom and dad live in Post Falls and we are north of CdA, so lots of pull to Idaho.

I thought you said it was “on the lake” in another thread. So, on Lake Pend Oreille or a smaller lake?
I’ve been here 16 yrs which is the longest I’ve been in one place...but I do love the area....I moved about 30 times prior over the years so I understand what relocation moves are all about. I learned to travel light and hold on to things lightly.... Also to live smaller.
This is home to me as well and I don’t forsee a move in the future. I have so many advantages in this location. Sounds like you’re set where you are and content as well. There’s much to be said for contentment.
She’s just starting out — husband is the maintenance guy at the apartments. Has two toddlers and I believe she is thinking public schools might be better over there. They really aren’t bad in Eastern WA, but bits of liberalism have crept in.

Does she know that teachers' pay in North Idaho is a quarter to a third less than eastern Washington? The nice thing about North Idaho is the kids are very polite and respect authority and teachers.
It’s harder for city folks to adapt to rural or country life tan vice versa. Just the pace itself is a huge thing to ajust to. But I love it.
Frankly it leads to an uncluttered life.....here you have everything a big city offers on a smaller scale. But without the traffic and crime....and the people let each other just live their life. What I love is you can’t come here and try to create problems....it’s just not tolerated. We have a unified police force, government and people.
