Pasco, Washington just got named one of America’s best places to retire—and it’s no surprise why. With home prices around $406,000 and lower living costs than many liberal-run cities, hardworking Americans can finally enjoy their golden years without getting taxed to death. This is what happens when common-sense policies put people first.
Spokane also made the list, proving Washington state knows how to protect retirees’ wallets. Sure, Spokane’s costs are 3% higher than average, but that’s still better than California’s sky-high prices. Conservatives understand: let folks keep more of their money, and they’ll thrive.
Forbes didn’t just look at money. They checked crime rates, healthcare, and clean air—basic needs the radical left ignores. Pasco’s low crime proves safety matters. Real leaders don’t defund the police. They protect neighborhoods so grandkids can play outside.
Washington’s secret weapon? No state income tax. Retirees keep every Social Security dollar they earned. Meanwhile, blue states tax pensions into oblivion. Patriots built this nation—they shouldn’t fund welfare for illegal immigrants through retirement checks.
Compare that to New York or Illinois. High taxes chase retirees south while corrupt politicians waste their savings. Pasco shows freedom works. Want affordability? Ditch Democrat tax hikes strangling middle-class savings.
Pasco isn’t perfect. It’s not some walkable utopia coastal elites love. But real Americans drive trucks, not bikes. They’d rather mow their own yard than live in cramped “green” apartments. Freedom means space to breathe, not government-approved lifestyles.
Low crime. Strong economy. Clean air. These aren’t accidents. They’re the result of putting Americans first—not illegal aliens or climate extremists. Retirees don’t want lectures. They want safety, grandkids, and a fishing pole.
Forbes got it right. Pasco and Spokane shine because conservative values work. Protect wallets. Back the blue. Reject crazy taxes. That’s how you build communities where freedom-loving Americans retire with dignity—not fear.
