Premier Retirement Destinations | Vancouver, WA | Fisher Investments [2019]
Have you considered relocating for retirement? In our latest series of premier retirement destinations from Fisher Investments, we take a journey to Vancouver, Washington to determine if it’s one of the best cities to retire in the US.
If you’re considering retiring in Vancouver, WA, you may be interested to hear its good reputation far precedes this video. Meriwether Lewis once called the area “the only desired situation for settlement west of the Rockies.” We think you’ll like it, too. You can enjoy all of the outdoor activities the region has to offer. With the close proximity of Mount Saint Helens and Mount Hood, there is no shortage of hiking, skiing or fishing. Not feeling active? Take a drive along the stunning Columbia River Gorge and enjoy the natural beauty along the river. If you get tired of the regions’ rainy winter weather, sunny Bend, Oregon is only a few hours southeast—perfect for a short getaway.
Portland, Oregon is just a stone’s throw away. Take pleasure in knowing that one of the world’s largest bookstores can keep you entertained during the darkness of winter. If you like beer, go to one of many local breweries to try a variety of different brews. If you’re not feeling like crossing the bridge, Vancouver’s cozy, revitalized downtown also offers many breweries and restaurants to enjoy.
If affordable living is a necessary part of your retirement planning, Vancouver’s median home price is $257,000, so homes tend to be more affordable than most metro areas. Neighboring Portland, Oregon also offers shopping free of sales tax! And bonus: If you become a client with us in the future, Fisher Investments’ campus is just east of Vancouver in Camas, Washington!

Time Lapse: Vancouver, BC, Canada to Mount Baker, Washington, USA
March 31, 2019 - Spring has sprung in the Pacific Northwest! Today I am taking a sunny Sunday drive from the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, across the border to the nearby dormant volcano (and largest mountain on the horizon), Mount Baker, in Washington State (USA)!
There is no quick or direct way between these two cities, but the drive sure is scenic, particularly on State Route 542 through the Cascade Mountains.

Top 10 Family Friendly Trails Western Washington
More Trails GPS + Video: botnw.com
Western Washington is rich with adventure for families of all types.
To get started, here are ten of our favorite family-friendly trails.
GPS + Video Guide:
1. Discovery Park Outer Loop Trail: Ask a Seattleite what the biggest most spectacular park in the city is chances are they will reply “Discovery” without missing a beat.
With dramatic open vistas from the south bluffs, descending the winding trails, through the woods to the rocky beach the Outer Loop Trail has it all.
2. Point Defiance Perimeter Loop Trail: Busy beaches to quiet secluded forest, old growth trees, high bluffs and spectacular Puget sound views; you will see them all on the outer loop trail.
3. Barclay Lake Trail: A short tree covered streamside hike to Barclay lake is a perfect diversion for little legs with a refreshing dip under the massive Mount Baring as the reward.
4. Twin Falls: Accessible from two directions, the Twin falls trail follows along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River to the dramatic bridge-crossing viewpoint.
5. Iron Goat Trail: This historical gateway is a wonderful outing for scenery and deepening appreciation of the perseverance of the thousands of workers that forged the passage through this section of the Cascades.
6. Lake Dorothy Trail: Abundant with great swimming and some prime campsites. Lake Dorothy is a popular destination for these very reasons.
7. Blue Lake Trail: Steep in places but well graded this moderate hike arrives at beautiful North Cascades alpine Blue Lake.
8. Ozette Triangle Trail: The classic Ozette Triangle with three stretches of trail boardwalk to beaches and forest connects the loop at the western most point in the continental United States.
9. Deception Pass Trails: With jaw dropping views around nearly every corner, this spectacular seaside route travels across tide pools, beaches, bridges and bluffs.
10. Greenwater Lakes Trail: Multiple river crossings, side waterfalls, massive trees and dramatic views down the Greenwater River gorge make this an engrossing hike for the entire family.
So the next time greet a Saturday morning with a sense of adventure and ask yourself what in the world are we going to do today? Remember, the trails await!
The next two steps are up to you.

Time Lapse: Vancouver, BC through the Cascades to Leavenworth and Quincy, Washington
July 2, 2016 - Day One of my summer road trip takes me from Vancouver, British Columbia, south into Washington State, through the Cascade Range to the town's of Leavenworth and Quincy, where I spend the night before moving on.
My route takes me south out of Vancouver on Highway 99, then Interstate 5 once I enter the United States. In Everett I head east along U.S. Highway 2, and from Wenatchee onwards, State Route 28 to the town of Quincy in the Columbia Basin.
The US-Canada Border Splits This Road Down The Middle
Rue Canusa (or Canusa Avenue) is a street that's split in two by a border: the northern part is in Stanstead, Canada, and the southern part is in Derby Line, USA — and border crossings here aren't as easy as they used to be.

Time Lapse - Sunday Drive from Vancouver, BC to Bellingham, Washington
June 5, 2016 - A lovely Sunday drive from the suburbs of Vancouver, BC to the nearby American city of Bellingham, WA. Many Canadians cross the border thanks to cheaper gas, food, and other shopping. While I partook in all these things while across the border, I also just wanted to get out for a relaxing drive (in a light-speed time lapse) on such a beautiful day.
A key point along the drive is the Peace Arch, where both Highway 99 and Interstate 5 meet their ends, and both the province of British Columbia and sate of Washington have placed a provincial and state park, respectively.
It wasn't a particularly busy morning, but I'm still loving that Nexus pass!
The 49th Parallel North acts as the entire land boundary between western Canada and the United States, from BC/Washington in the west to Manitoba/Minnesota in the east. It also bisects Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. A few miles down the road, in Ferndale, we are at the exact same latitude as the Eiffel Tower.
And last but not least for your viewing pleasure, Q*bert (sort of)!

Two cities which, at first glance, seem very similar to each other. Although Seattle is an American city and Vancouver is a Canadian city, both are part of the same region, known as the Pacific Northwest, or sometimes known as Cascadia.
Both have a temperate oceanic climate known for their generally cool temperatures and rainy weather. While both have four seasons, it never gets too cold in the winter and never too hot in the summer. Both can get snow in the winter and get A LOT of precipitation from November through January. Yep, those three months are cold, dark, and rainy.
Both are in the infamous Ring of Fire, an area where lots of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tend to occur.
Both have about the same population in the actual city limits. (V- 675,218, S- 724,745). However, Seattle’s metro population has about 1.5 million more people. (V- 2.5 million, S- 4 million) But you could say Vancouver is a bigger deal in its home country, as it has the 3rd largest metro in all of Canada, while Seattle has the 15th largest metro. Seattle has been the fastest growing American big city of the past decade.
While both are ethnically diverse, Vancouver is more so. 40% of Vancouver’s population is made up of immigrants. Around 28% of Vancouver residents are Chinese. It’s been called the “most Asian city outside of Asia.”
Both have low pollution and are environmentally friendly. Both have pledged to go carbon neutral by 2050.
I mean, overall both have a high quality of life, and thus...both cities are really expensive.
