What are the Best States To Live In?

8. Washington

With a combination of high-tech companies and gorgeous natural scenery, Washington has something for everyone. Residents pride themselves on their diversity, which has helped create a thriving arts and culture scene. The weather is also fairly moderate, although some people may not enjoy the amount of cloudy days. The air quality in the state is also some of the best in the nation, and residents are generally healthier than average. Plan ahead if you want to move to a major city, though, as the tech boom has created housing shortages that may make it difficult to find a new home.
