Wouldn’t you prefer a nice, sunny and welcoming place to live in? I’ve got to admit, I really dislike Seattle. Overall, I believe Richland is a better place to live than Seattle. The cost of living is cheaper. The weather seems to always be nicer. Housing expenses are cheaper. The traffic is less stressful. The crime rate is lower. The food and gas prices are also lower in Richland. One of my brothers, who was recently married to a girl from Seattle, moved to Seattle, due to a job position. My family and I have visited him in Seattle a couple of times since he moved there and both times it has been rainy, wet and cold. According to Sperling’s Best Place, "It is 37% cheaper to live in Richland than Seattle" (Sperling’s). Most things that people buy in Richland are cheaper than buying them in Seattle. The weather in Richland is more pleasant than Seattle. From experience, on a nice day in Richland in the winter the sun is shining, there are no clouds, and it's fairly warm. But on a nice day in Seattle during the winter, it is rarely sunny, it’s cloudy and cold. According to other research, “Richland has 66.8% less rainy days and 28.9% more sunny days than Seattle” (Sperling’s). From the same article, statistics show that the ratio of sunny days in Richland to Seattle is 196 to 152. The …show more content…
Richland has more to offer, in general. For example, as I have already mentioned, it’s cheaper to live in Richland, the weather is nicer, the housing expenses are cheaper, the traffic isn't as stressful as Seattle traffic, crime level is lower, and believe it or not the health expenses are cheaper, food prices are lower, and gas prices are cheaper. From experience and research, Richland is a nicer and more pleasant place to live and the atmosphere is more
From the mid 1840s into the 1900s, the Pacific Northwest transformed from small towns to an urban society. In the beginning, settlers traveled by foot, water, and horse to the Pacific Northwest; then later by wagons, stagecoaches, steamboats and sailing ships to passenger trains. The Pacific Northwest experienced a rapid rate of growth from 1880s to 1890s. In between 1859 to 1890, the Pacific Northwest established its statehood between Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The growth in resources of travel and the increase of immigrants, transformed the Pacific Northwest from small towns to an urban Society.
“The skiing out West is much better,” said Doug Sabanosh, managing editor of SKI Magazine. “The East is cold, cloudy, and gray while out West we have 300 days of sun.”
The United States of America and Mexico are countries that are so close to each other, yet so different. From my experience, living in each of these countries for a long time, feels like living in a whole different world. Each country offers different things to the people. The United States of America is a better place to live than Mexico because of their climate, their culture and their higher quality of education.
Weather and climate conditions are one major difference between Key West and Denali National Park. The temperature, or climate, in Key West is almost always hot and has yearly averages from approximately seventy-five to ninety degrees Fahrenheit from January to December. The climate in Denali National Park has yearly temperature averages from approximately nineteen to sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit from January to December. Key West's highest recorded temperature was ninety-eight degrees in 1997. Alaska is a lot colder and records its lowest temperature at negative thirty-four degrees in 1989. When I traveled to Key West two years ago, I remember that the weather either was bright and beautiful, or rainy with thunderstorms, not much in between. I also remember the air outside always being very humid and hot making me feel uncomfortable. On the other side of the nation we have a completely different climate setting. In Alaska, six out of seven days were overcast and it rained half the time we were there hiking and camping. The near freezing te...
Southern California is considered to have one of the best year-round of any destination in the United States. There is a brief season of rain, which falls in the months of December, January and February. The average rainfall in Southern California is twelve inches and 90% of the rain will occur during these three months. The average temperature range is between sixty-eight and eighty-three. Temperatures can differ as much as twenty degrees depending on the area of Southern California. Coastal areas that are close to the ocean are cooler while inland areas are warmer due to the Santa Ana winds. Fog can occur during June due to the arid winds pulling moisture from the ocean. This can sometimes be referred to as the “June Gloom”. Fog will typically burn off, by the sun, around noon each day. The fog during June tends to make the mornings cooler and afternoons and evenings warmer.
I would have preferred to live in Pennsylvania out of all the thirteen colonies. Pennsylvania was a very prosperous colony due to the fact that everyone had economic opportunity. Also, the people had civil liberty, allowing them to surpass the other colonies that had multiple restrictions. In addition, they had religious freedom unlike other colonies. Pennsylvania had many great features compared to the other colonies.
The climate of Alaska is usually 4 to 5 degrees below zero most of the time.
Washington has a few different big landforms that affect the weather and climate. A few different landforms are Mount St. Helens, Puget Sound, and Cascade Mountains. Mount St. Helens, affects the weather when it erupts by releasing ash and smog into the air. Puget Sound is important because it is the center of commerce. Puget Sound affects the weather by protecting the city from lots of rain. The Cascade Mountains affect the weather with the rain shadow. Living near these landforms you won’t be able the predict all of their weather.
Abby: While climates are moist near the mountains and in the north. Usually, the driest is in the central prairies. Strong winds blow across the plains during both summer and winter because of the flat rolling surfaces.
Many ponder whether the country or the city is better than the other. It is all a matter of perspective. Some enjoy being able to disappear into a crowd of people while others enjoy everyone knowing their name. Every person has a reason for where he or she lives. It might be because of better job opportunities or the best place to raise a child. Whatever the reason, the place where a person lives affects their lives in a huge way, and everyone needs to know the best place for them. A few differences between a big town and a small town is the level of safety, the number of activities, and quality of communities.
The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside on a bright sunny day, and letting the sun warm my body. I also like that we get an occasional thunder storm. The excitement fills the air when I see the thunder clouds rolling in. The sound of thunder, and the lighting shows that come from the storms are fascinating. On the other hand winter i...
So whether it is the crazy, energized, stress-filled life of living in the city you prefer or the laid-back, relaxed way of life the country has to offer, both have their advantages. The choice is dependent on what is important to each individual. I have many fond memories of living in the city during the first part of my life; however, it is the move to the countryside that has had more of an impact on my life. Industrial employment opportunities were greater in the city and extracurricular activities were in abundance, nonetheless, I prefer to treasure the slower paced life in the country, the kindness of friends and neighbors I have here, and the down-home flavor of rural living.
One major issue affecting many people trying to make the decision on where to live is their quality of life in either extreme. Health, education, transportation are three major concerns that many consider. In a city, pollution surrounds you wherever you step whether on the streets of a busy financial district or on the lawn of a large park. Pollution could possibly cause health problems later in life. In the country, pollution is scarce. Fresh air, rolling green hills, a few pieces of litter here and there but pretty much everything is clean, and wow! No smog, you can see the stars! In the country, childhood education, kindergarten through twelfth grade, is significantly better than in a large city; smaller class sizes and larger budgets create excellent learning environments. In cities, public schools are often plagued with very large classes packed into small spaces. Teachers with low pay, and little or no dedication are thrown into classrooms to teach, resulting in poor education. Transportation is very accessible in city environments. Public transportation, by way of subways, busses and ferries, are cheap and easy ways of getting around a metropolis, whether going out to work, school, or for a night on the town. In the country, everyone needs to have access to his or her own vehicle. A commute to work or school is about an average of forty-five minutes!
There are many aspects of living in suburban areas that may influence one's decision to live there. Suburban areas consist of primarily upper-class families. The presence of the wealthy families creates an environment with less crime and nicer neighborhoods. Another appealing aspect of suburban living is the peaceful environment. Suburban areas are more secluded and there are not as many closely-knit neighborhoods. Since homes are more secluded, it allows the residence more privacy. It also allows for more freedom. For example, people are allowed to own a larger variety of animals in suburban areas.
Yet, summers are those times when people from around the globe land here to get rid of the dog days of summer. Winters, indeed, make the place all the more stunning with everything roofed with the white snow. Generally, rainy season is not much recommended when it comes to visiting Manali.
