I am not a water fowl hunter but the Tri City area if you are a city person not farm from the major migratory fly ways. A lot less people that western washington. I have lived alot of my life in western Washington. A nice place to visit but cost and population very concentrated on the north/south running Interstate 5 corridor.

Moses lake is pretty central and tons of birds.

That would be my vote.....best waterfowl hunting, plus centrally located for lots of other outdoor recreation. Lot of public access as well. :tup:

It's been a few years (1973-ish, I was in kindergarten at Sexton Elem?), we moved out to Iliff 1/2 way through, and then to Ft Collins a couple years after that.
Eastern WA is very similar climate to what you've got there, except less tornado warnings and blizzards. Western WA is rain and more rain followed by periods of rain.
