Details:
This would be 5-20 acres. Eastern Washington you can get larger tracts of land for much less, ready to homestead for 1/4 what you'd get here within a few hour drive to Seattle for the same price. Within 2-3 hour drive from Seattle would be better though IMO. Ideally I'd like something with trees near a stream or similar, for firewood/water.
Cost:
Some of the more local places are 50-75K for 5 acres, whereas you can often get 10-20 with a cabin for $60-80K. Could serve as a place to bug out, off grid living, etc.
Other considerations:
Or would it be better considering political stuff going on to buy a place OUT of state? Idaho, Florida, etc. Only issues there are the place being susceptible to vandalism/squatting/theft. And of course you also have to consider getting there in some SHTF situations. Three days of no air travel, remember that? Also what about roads being washed out, or SOME other reason you can't drive to even say, Idaho. Closer is better because if you HAVE to walk, it's not as far.
