I don't think you'll have a problem finding suitable real estate out on the coast if that lifestyle suits you. While I'm sure demand has gone up (along with prices), it's a far cry from paying $500,000 to live in 500 square foot house like people tend to do in the Seattle Metropolitan Area right now. Please set up a SDR there if you go!I only got to listen once, in the daytime.
I know they are right near the old Grayland Motel, so I wonder how the reception is and how the noise levels are...wish there was a full-time Net SDR there. I've always dreamed of having a home there.
Just hoping all the real estate isn't snarfed-up soon.
