We were pretty well prepared from early March. About ten days before people starting flooding the stores, the wife and I quietly did a major stockpile in our garage. I already had two fridges and some outside power ready if the power fails. We did some security upgrades to the property. We don't go to downtown Seattle anymore, or anywhere much for that matter.
I got lucky because I was able to order mass supplies via Amazon at a time when people hadn't figured out it was time to consider it. With so much stock in food and med supplies, as well as ammo, we could hold out here for at least six weeks without another store trip although the powdered milk might be hard to choke down. I think we will be okay, but I will say this much: I've been living in WA state off and on since 1968, and I am leaving for good by no later than next June. I have HAD it. Used to be nice here. Now it sucks on every level you can imagine except maybe camping and fishing.
Small town in Arizona. Bullhead City is looking good for us. We're at close to retirement age. You can get a double wide on its own lot there for less than 50K. No trailer park. Your own lot, some with big shade trees and plenty of parking space. Works for me. Or a 'regular' stick home for under 200K. You can't even get a lot to build something on in Puget Sound for 50K. I see some desert camping in my future.
