Even though Washington may not be the most economical location, prices are not that bad for the Pacific Northwest. The city of Vancouver offers retirees a great lifestyle without needing to spend too much. The cost of living in The Evergreen State is higher than the national average, by 21% but it is still much cheaper than states such as California and Hawaii. As of 2021, there are roughly 7.8 million people living in Washington and there is no state income tax here, which is why it is such an attractive place to relocate to. As the average income of households over 65 years old is more than $55,000, a job will certainly make things easier.
