Cool.
Still, inside the city of Seattle we have 147 miles of freshwater waterfront and 53 miles of salt water.
And, I can live in the city where it almost never snows, yet go night skiing and mountaineering after work.
With Seattle's economy, based on the many high tech corporations, manufacturing (such as Boeing), and our major shipping port, you know people are going to want to live here.
So, I don't know where we are on the list of cheap places to retire, but we're not really going to fit that description well at all.
