If you want to go out on a boat you should go to Westport instead. Miles of beaches, surfing, fishing, whale watching etc, much better and it’s the same distance.

But imagine life for a teenager on lake cushman.

Be careful moving to rural Washington, your teenager might fall in with some vampires or wolverines and end up eternally damned.

But jokes aside, I can’t think of a place that would be queer friendly and good for a teenager. Is it possible to hold out till they graduate? Or look at renting for a few years?

That’s totally untrue, Shelton has a higher rate of crime than Olympia

Shelton is like Spokane but much smaller and with fewer restaurants and more rain.

Yes.

Cons: Literal convicts, The people aren’t very nice, it’s deeply racist, very few cultural events, isolated from major metropolitan areas, high rates of sex offenders, sad downtown, extreme car dependence, poor public transportation connectivity, high rates of property crime and violence.

Pros: close to pretty places

Just ask Loren Culp
