Then again, West Oly is a wee bit pricey in that regard.

Yeah, I've looked around here but what I have at $600 amonth is pretty much the best I am going to get. I'm way out on steamboat island, which is bad for anyone (as it's 30 minutes to the safeway at cooper and Harrison which is the closest to me), but it's worse for me as I don't like driving at all, and I don't drive at night (or very rainy/cloudy/windy situations).

I'm open to moving around here if I could find something reasonable, but honestly everything is so expensive here, and long term I really don't want strangers as roomates, I want to find something I can live in comfortably while retired, and without great eyesight left, long term.

I don't think I'm gonna find that in Washington sadly.

I don't know about Iowa, it's just an option, though that town does look almost perfect. Wilderness doesn't matter to me anymore, I live on an island surrounded by trees everywhere right on a river, but I never even look out my window, so yeah, whatever is outside my apartment isn't going to matter.

What matters is internet + cheap rent + good places to eat, and convenient shopping.

That place in Iowa was right across from a school though, so I could walk there to volunteer or if I could get a job as a teachers assistant once I can't see well enough to read anymore (pretty much already there). It would be nice to still be able to help/be useful.
