If you haven\'t considered the Pacific Northwest for retirement, maybe now\'s the time.
Known for its beautifully diverse landscape, the Pacific Northwest provides a unique retirement opportunity for active adults. Filled with scenic mountains and coastlines, the region features a range of active adult communities, many of which provide up-close views of some of the best natural landscapes that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
States such as Oregon and Washington, in particular, are especially popular due to their offering of both urban centers, like Portland and Seattle, respectively, alongside a variety of natural surroundings. Whether you prefer the comforts of large cities or would prefer to retire to explore the great outdoors, there’s no question that the Pacific Northwest will have whatever it is you’re looking for.
