Westward Migration Continues

An article in the PI talks about retirees who are following their children’s moves to Seattle, and the trends that lead them here. Many retirees choose to stay where they have lived their lives, others move to resort areas with a better climate for activities they enjoy. Others, whom we have seen more and more of, are moving to where their children, and especially grandchildren, are. The article talks about how our nation’s high degree of mobility has caused families to be geographically far-flung, yet the need that families have to be together is still there.

One of the couples choose to buy a small bungalow in a part of Seattle that reflects their ethnic heritage, and another chose a townhouse in Fremont because of the cultural diversity there.
