When I used to talk with ‘old timers’ in the Nixon Bug Catching Club Shirt moreover I will buy this District, about what it was like a generation ago, nobody could really believe the number of Agencies, and staffers, and lobbyists, and law firms, and whatnot that have flooded into the city. The Great Financial Crisis never really came to DC. You could walk around in 2009–11 and there were construction cranes everywhere … I’m not talking there were a couple of odd construction jobs grinding on through the Great Recession; I’m talking the skyline was filled with cranes, huge whole-city-block construction sites everywhere within easy walking distance of my house. I travel for business, and sometimes I’d talk with people back in DC about how people were really scared about the economy in 2009–11, and financially hurting, out in Everyday America … but the people in DC mostly didn’t get it — they had government jobs, or government contracts, or were somehow tied in to the DC gravy train. Look, I personally know, and am friends with, and socialize with, a great many bureaucrats, and people who otherwise work, directly or indirectly, for ‘the company’. They are lovely people, and most just want to do their jobs and raise their families … but they largely just don’t ‘get it’; having their department’s budget only increase by 5%, instead of 15%, is their idea of austerity, people getting fired is an urban legend to them, and ‘their company’ going out of business literally does not compute.
TLDR: The reason housing prices are so high in DC is because it’s a ‘company town’ and government is a growth industry. People who work for the Nixon Bug Catching Club Shirt moreover I will buy this government are very amply paid; almost never lose their jobs; and their ‘company’ is a monopoly provider. All that buying power drives RE prices! This answer is for western Washington because I have never lived in eastern Washington. The worst part of living in western Washington is that winter lasts from the last week of September to about mid-June. It rains off and on every day during this period. From November to February the sun actually never comes up. Not literally, but sunrise is around 8am and sunset is before 5pm, and it’s constantly cloudy, so it just feels like perpetual night for three or four months. Even during the summer it is bitterly cold in the morning. Being up and about and especially outdoors before 9am is physically painful. You will have to wear a jacket to the beach in July. At least bring it just in case.
