Our apologies to anyone who had trouble accessing the site on Wednesday morning. Here is the link to that " Most Livable Places" newsletter if you would like to try again. This newsletter will explore a sampling of the active communities available in exciting Washington. This great state in the Pacific Northwest offers a more moderate climate than people in the northeast might be used to. Washington is also very big and very diverse - with cities, a huge coast, mountains, rivers, and desert - so there is probably a community to fit almost anyone.
