When I was single, I almost moved to western MT (have family there) but wasn't sure about finding work.

Oil production is a component, but most of that is either Western Slope or Northeast (Weld / Morgan / Logan).

Which reminds me, I have a couple trees that need to go in my rentals.Also, you live in (western) WA - lol - I live in WI - we both know there is no real need for more vegetation!!!
