No brainer, Moses Lake. Google "Seattle Freeze". The people on the eastside of the state are genuinely friendlier, better people (not liberals). I've lived in Seattle and have a hunting/dirtbike cabin in Moses so I know both pretty well. Moses Lake has a fun social scene plus awesome duck hunting, fishing, a huge ORV park (dunes), it's always sunny, and after paying for housing you'll be able to blow all that extra disposable income on toys! As far as your closest snopark, North Bend/Issaquah would be closer, but you'd be paying through the nose on housing.
