We gaan alweer huisje ruilen, deze keer met Lee en Diana Dodd uit North Bend in de staat Washington, dat ligt ten noorden van Californië tegen de grens met Canada. Lee en Diana beschrijven hun omgeving als volgt:

North Bend is 34 highway miles to Seattle and 19 highway miles to the lowest (3000 ft) pass (and 3 ski areas) in the Cascade mountain range. Approximately 3 hours by auto or train to Portland, Oregon or Vancouver BC, Canada. Easy access to all Evergreen state attractions; Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Puget Sound, Pacific Ocean, Seattle, etc.

Our home is 3000 sq. ft. single floor house with a bonus room equipped as an exercise room. Four bedrooms, one with a king and one with a queen. On the grounds is a large patio, a koi pond, a heated wood working shop and greenhouse along with a large vegetable garden with blueberries and apples. Wildlife can be seen all year. Our local elk herd is a sight to behold.
