In addition to some of the best hiking, food and wine in the country, Washington state ranks in the top five for education, economy and infrastructure, according to the U.S. News & World Report, which declared Washington the #1 state to live in 2021.

Whether you love taste-testing local wine, getting out on the water or skiing year-round, the Pacific Northwest has something for you. Imagine living on a beautiful island surrounded by mountains and commuting by ferry to work every day.

Additionally, Washington’s top-tier schools and abundant parks make this the perfect place to settle down and raise a family. When you move here from out of state, local life science companies will work with you to create a relocation package that meets your needs and smooths the transition into your new life and work.
