Man, that’s what I’ve been craving for so long. Brands of dog, chili, cheese and buns? I want to replicate that to a T.

Well, there’s coastal WA and eastern WA, which are two different beasts. Like coastal mass and non-coastal mass.

I prefer saltwater, so I’ll compare the two coastals. Now, I love New England and pre-pandemic, visited at least once if not more times a year, but East Coast vs PNW, I find east coast is a bit flatter and of course with different trees. I like having mountains, forests and ocean all within the same 360 view.

Coastal mass winters are more brutal.

Seafood is equivocal, though I like lobster just a bit more than crab, but spot prawns give WA the edge. We both have delicious fish. WA coast has arguably more types of clams, and I like our oysters more. Razor clams and geoduck give WA a big edge.

No state income tax, but y’all have pseudo- socialized medicine, so edge to MA if you don’t make a ton of money.
