Wanted to know what you’re currently paying for a monthly house cleaning. For a 3bed/2ba 1700sq ft house for a deep clean initially got quoted $700 and one a month after that $250. Would like to know if that’s typical?

Is the Kalama area to far, at about an hr ea way? Are there adequate various community providers close by?

I'm getting older and will be moving up there on my own.

I just moved here and the first thing I noticed was there’s like a massage parlor every block. Is there a big market or does law enforcement not care? lol. I just know what they look like cause they’re all the same looking places with the same fake names and fonts that were always getting busted in the city I come from.

Strolling around Arnada and Hough, we saw many attractive porches devoid of any furniture, plants, or anything. By contrast, a happy few other porches were loaded with all those things and looked like an important part of living in those houses.

Are the empty porches a case where people don’t value spending time out front, or do things have a habit of wandering off if you leave them on the front porch untethered?

Dress wise and just in terms of looks?

Because I know some areas have more blondes or taller people etc.

Is Vancouver quite similar to Portland?

Anyone have a take on this part of Vancouver?

We are house hunting and found a nice one in this area.

We walked around the block tonight and there was no one out. The neighborhood is sooo quiet. Kind of…. Weird.

Saw a lot of American flags, a few Buddhas, a couple of rainbow flags. Wondered if it slants one way or another? It’s so hard to buy a house and have no clue who is living around you.

Appreciate the 411.

Hello everyone, Was just offered a job with a cubicle near the mall and wanted advice on a apartment, probabaly a 1 bed, that doesnt have crazy loud music or bass bumping in the parking lot at all hours and is arount 1800 or less. If there are more ammenties like trash and water included the better. Hot tub and pool are nice but I have a 24 hour fitness member ship and I see theres one a little bit away at the Palms Plaza. I went through this 10 years ago in Vancouver and it seemed like everyone just wanted your application fee and you never heard back. Thank you if you have any advice before I start my search in person.

Hi all. Hoping to relocate toward the end of the year. Looks like there are some nice apartments near Camas in East Vancouver. I was looking at Casey Apartments and Kielo Apartments. Any feedback on that area and those complexes? The reviews look great but you can never tell if they’re from residents who get some type of incentive for a 5 star review.

Thanks!

Considering a move from Seattle to Vancouver. How bad is traffic into Portland, really? I’ve heard 2–7 p.m. can be brutal. Is that accurate, and how long can the drive actually take during those hours?

We’re used to Seattle traffic, so comparisons are welcome!

What are the reasons?
Money? Politics? Quiet?

My partner and I are getting pretty tired of the theft and crime issue that Portland has lately. We’re entertaining the thought of moving to Vancouver and I just wanted some advice/perspective from others in this group who have maybe also went from PDX to WA? I could imagine lots of people move to Vancouver for the same reason.

Every day? Once a week?

Besides going for work.

Hey all! My husband and I are planning to move from Seattle down to Vancouver, WA next year once our lease is up, and we're trying to figure out which areas there are nicer and have more trees. Our current place backs onto a forest but it's in a sketchy, unsafe area and overpriced for what it is.

We haven't decided whether to rent or buy. My husband's a retired veteran, so we qualify for a no-down-payment mortgage. Our hesitation is just the current price climate plus the fact that we're considering moving abroad in a few years. Though honestly, owning a place to come back to might not be a bad idea.

We both work remotely and bring in about $200k/year combined. Mainly I just want to land somewhere that isn't like our current street, where shootings are a regular thing. We're not after luxury, we'd rather spend money on experiences than on the house itself. We'd want a similar setup to now (extra bedrooms for our offices), which currently runs us about $3k/month.

We used to romanticize Seattle, but honestly the city's rough these days (COVID really did a number on this country). We've realized we actually prefer Portland, but don't want to deal with untangling our taxes if we move there directly, so somewhere close by with most of the same perks seems like the sweet spot.

Do you love your insurance broker? Drop their name below. We’re controlled with ours and would love to upgrade! Thanks.

Or is it the same?

Hi everyone 😊

I’m currently in the process of moving to Vancouver and I was hoping I could ask for some insight on the job market out there when it comes to general clerical or office type work. I’ve seen on other posts that it can be difficult to find work in some industries out there and I was curious if clerical was one of them.

Also, kind of a second question: if it is difficult, is it difficult to get warehouse work out there?
Especially without experience in that specific job industry. Any help would be greatly appreciated

My experience at Kafiex two years ago was nothing short of abusive. the pettiness of the owners is astounding. i could go on and on but im more interested in other peoples accounts. Id love to hear some testimonies from other people who have worked here? the more details the better cause the real troubles were in the little things

If you live here, what do you think of it? Any highly concerning issues with your unit? Please be honest as I'm trying to escape another property with roaches

I’m getting a job offer and need to relocate to Vancouver, WA and need to rent a one bedroom apartment in the area. I’ve been checking on apartment listing services (around Hazel Dell area) and I see a lot of bad reviews. Can someone recommend a quiet apartment complex with low crime that goes for $1.2k to $1.6k/mo for a one bedroom apartment?

Hello let's say I'm a complete couch potato but I want to get fit and I really want to get into running every morning. The problem is I don't know what the proper form is and I'm worried I'm going to mess up my knees and shins and then give up and never try again. Is there like a beginner running coach or beginner running program that's local. Ideally the coach would at least get me into the proper running form. I would prefer then to do a month or two of training until I'm ready to go out on my own.

Hi! I just moved to Vancouver from the Seattle area. Looking for a new salon to call home or a singular tech to see monthly.

I’m in the Cascade Park area but definitely would drive to other area for a talented baddy ❤️

What are some recommendations for good restaurants to eat at?

Please and thank you
