If you really want off the grid you can do it. Just pack up what you really need and head on down to the homeless camp and pitch your tent.

Indeed. One can go "off-grid" by simply stopping their utilities.
Our friend who watches our son a few days a week has been trying to buy land to build a house on outside of vancouver and she was telling me they can't find a 5-10 acres piece of land that doesn't have rules against what animals you can and cannot have, how many and how big of out buildings you can have, etc
Wtf! Isn't that why you buy land outside of town?!
Yes , but at times society's laws are very worried , concerned and troublesome about you.
Even if you are off the grid.

Ridgefield will be the next salmon creek in 15 years and they don't want filthy animals on every other corner... I'd guess.
Might have better luck in woodland or kalama.
Found this place up in the North woods area. A little too fancy for me though

The whole idea that you need a "permit" to live in something is so absurd the founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
I know I would not buy a house that was built by an amateur without a permit that wasn't up to code.
Only problem with no permits is when you sell it.Don't worry, it's going away in the next revolution.
I would. You just have it inspected, like any other house. As I said, the house I had in Wyoming had no inspections. It was just a house like any other.

As to amateurs, I built a 1600 sq ft home on Hagg Lake back in the 1980's. Yeah I followed code and yeah I had it inspected (no choice there) but because an amateur builds a home doesn't mean it's no good. The home I'm in now was built by an amateur.
People have this weird idea that life without government is impossible. Government is a net loss for us, not a benefit.
I know of a whole community that is 'off grid'. It's in Oregon though. I'm sure there must be something similar in WA.
Three Rivers Recreation Area Landowner's Association
An off the grid community...with an HOA
Notice their landing page says their property, roads and such are in jeopardy. Already own property with an HOA. Never again.
