Anywhere between CDA and Kalispell would be a perfect place to live 
like Jayh said, 20 minutes unless you choose to live closer then the snow is out your back door, say from Kellogg or Wallace. What ya movin this way for? Where from? How good is the sledding, just about every aspect you would like, not any really steep chutes like McCall or Revy but decent pulls, great groomed trails and tons of back country off trail stuff.

20 minutes isnt bad.
We are looking to move in the next year. With the economy the way it is, my business is struggling. My wife and I just had a little girl 13 months ago, we are tired of all the liberals and want to raise a family in an area where we can do the things we like to do. We were tied between seattle outskirts CDA, and Kalispell, but after some feed back from the guys on here from seatlle and some other things we have been hearing, we are dropping that off the list.
My biggest concern with Kalispell is jobs. Looks like CDA has much more jobs. Its a tough call. We have a year to figure it out, just tried to do my research.
What do you guys think? Kalispell or CDA? Would Sandpoint be a good option?
Thanks.

I know alot of guys were sledding until May this year. I even hit some trails late May, snow was spotty obviously, but its amazes me its even still around then. Depends on the year of course.
I wouldn't even consider Sandpoint in my opinion, won't fix your liberal problem. What is it you do? I work and live in CDA but am in Kalispell almost weekly. I would think CDA and Kalispell are real close in size and oppurtunity, I prefer CDA since Spokane is close and its always nice to have a larger city/town nearby, doesn't hurt the job market either. I don't see a huge upside to kalispell seeing that we have a lake(s) just as beautiful, great sledding, great state to live in etc...etc.

just so you know, you are not going to escape liberals anywhere in the west.
also cda has been booming, but it has bust lately. the economy here sucks just like it does anywhere in the country. There is a lot of unemployed constructions workers, escavators, developers etc. Not telling you not to move. But the reality of life is still here. the median wage in cda is $30,000.
there is some great sledding in north idaho or western montana. Kalispell is real similar to cda in alot of things, especially economy.
Good luck, move out, but be prepared to work to make it.

yeah, it makes me sad to think about it. Sandpoint used to be a nice place. When they put up that gay-pride-2-logs-humping BS in front of the courthouse I wanted to puke.

Don't you have to be missing a tooth in front to be allowed to live in CDA/Spokane? Chew some skoal or redman and drink nothing stronger than bud lite long necks?.....
just kidding.....I like that area a lot. I think it's a better choice than the seattle area for cost of living and all around quality of life.
