That’s funny I’m from Augusta Maine and live in Seattle at the moment, not by birth but transplant from Texas originally. I’m in 50’s and I have 6 grown children that live in Kennebec County. I always loved Maine and bounce between there, here, down south, and working on homestead in North Pole, AK. Seattle is a nut house and going down fast. These people don’t know how to lose and they’re losing everything by the day. They gave away their city. Such ashamed. But as far as Maine goes, it’s up in air right now. I personally love Augusta area, it’s central to everything and has alternative cities with additional culture, food, music, etc near by. Rent right now like everything in housing is going crazy right now, the rents I’ve seen are insane everywhere but there’s no way they can get what they want. Personally I’d say call a few and feel them out. I’m sure the gouging thing has backfired on them and they’ll be willing to wheel and deal. Especially if your solid person. Good luck with it. I’m back out of here myself shortly. I’m so busy I forget where I’m at in world most days, but Seattle is done, it’s going to take a miracle turn around for this city to regain anything and a long time ahead. It’s major exodus with business and anyone else really, so terrible.

Yea Seattle is brutally expensive now. Crowded like mad. And probably 200 or 300 tent cities downtown with the homeless. It’s a mess. It’s sad. Seattle has been destroyed. I can’t afford 2000$ a month for a one bdrm. I bring this up in the Seattle forum and how I was pushed out. The rich yuppies on the forum basically ally told me to go fly a kite. Real ass***s. They’re all transplants I imagine. Locals weren’t that way. They have taken over Seattle and have jacked up all the rents in the house and costs through the roof and they could care less. The true kingdom of stuck up LGTBQ community types that hate masculine men sorry to say. But there’s a collective group think and mentality with them. Seattle changed so much more for the worse.
