Washington State to California Movers

Moving to California from Washington State

If you are looking to relocate from stereotypically rainy Washington state, California is a great option if you’re searching for some sun!

Whether you are moving for a job, or a change of scenery, California truly offers something for everyone. From coastal beaches to lush wine country to amazing Redwood forests, and everything in between, the Golden State offers it all.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 55,467 people moved from Washington to California in 2018. That number continues to grow as California’s economy and job market expand.

Many people relocate to the Golden State for work – Seattle and the Silicon Valley both share a booming tech industry. Many professionals in that industry relocate to California for higher pay and more career opportunities.

While the cost of living in Washington state is higher than the national average, California boasts the third-highest cost of living in the country, just below Hawaii and New York. Of course, the cost of living will change depending on where in California you decide to settle.

In addition to bustling cities, California offers an abundance of magnificent outdoor recreation. You can hike in the mountains, fish in crystal-clear lakes, enjoy wildflower super blooms, and surf in the sea. The beaches are second-to-none with beautiful sand, crisp water and hot sun.

The Golden State has nine national parks – more than any other state in the country.

Another draw for people moving to California is the educational opportunity. The University of California alone has 10 campuses and nearly 300,000 students. 107 Nobel Prize winners have graduated from UC Berkeley alone.

The cuisine in California is nothing to scoff at, either. The Golden State is a paradise for health gurus, vegetarians, fine dining and fast food. There are more than 1,200 wineries in the state that produce a majority of the wine sold in the country.

San Diego: The “birthplace of California” is home to many historical sites that are a draw for many.

Some consider San Diego to have perfect weather, as it is consistently temperate and comfortable all year long.

San Francisco: The heart of the Bay Area and just north of Silicon Valley, San Francisco is world-renowned for being an innovative tech hub.
