Had some relatives in Kelso/ Longview area. SW Washington is the bomb. I remember a couple times camping roundabouts there a couple times when I was young. Good Luck and have fun. Moving is never a walk in the park. Blah to the packing and moving.

Oh yes, I would love it there. I don't mind cooler weather all the time, plus it is so green. If you want hot and dry, drive to eastern Washington. I also notice you still list Texas as your location. Better change it! :giggle:
 
Winlock is a nice little town. I still have a place just west of Longview and spend as much time as I can there every year. I love it there and have made some of the greatest of friends in SW Washington and Northwest Oregon. Lots to do around there too. If you want country it is like a picture book around there and if you want small town it is there too and easy to go off to the beaches or up in the mountains or the big city whatever you wish to do it is there.

I was used to work in Kelso at the Three River Mall, but the store that I worked was closed.

For finding the deaf friends, I would recommend to get around where the deaf people go, like the DVR you talked about. There are some of deaf people from Longview/Kelso that travel to Vancouver and Portland to hang out with the deafies here pretty often. Also I would recommend to try the college in Longview/Kelso, there are some deaf people went there.

That's all I know, hope that helps :)

It's all relative. I have lived in Minnesota most of my life, but was in Maryland for about 3 years. In January, the temps would sometimes be around 40º for a high. I would see everyone with the big hooded parkas, zipped all the way, with just a little peep hole to see where they were going. I had the car windows down, thinking "This is great; 40's in January!" instead of what I was used to here, which is teens and single numbers for highs in January, and sometimes much lower. When they got ANY snow, they had the school closings on bottom of the TV screen. People would line up at the grocery for water and toilet paper. I would go for a long walk and enjoy the snowfall.

If you can live with average of 227 days of cloudiness a year, you'll be ok. LOL This year has been plenty of clear days, though.
