Why Californians Are Moving to Clark County WA (What the Headlines Miss)

Are Californians really flocking to Clark County, Washington? 🌲 According to a recent article in The Columbian, Clark County is now the second most popular destination in Washington for California transplants—but there’s more to the story than the headlines share.

In this video, we dig deeper into the numbers and trends behind the migration from California to Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, and beyond. From first-time homebuyers priced out of California, to retirees cashing out equity, to families looking for better quality of life - there are real reasons Californians are choosing Clark County.

We’ll cover:
✅ What The Columbian article got right
✅ What they missed about Gen X, Millennials, and first-time buyers
✅ Push factors driving people out of California (taxes, housing costs, insurance)
✅ Why Clark County specifically stands out for transplants
✅ Real stories from the clients we’ve helped make this move

If you’re considering a move from California to Clark County, WA—or anywhere in the Portland Metro—we’d love to help guide your relocation.
