In addition, loss of housing value or housing related debt has made migration unappealing to many people. California, one of the main contributors to Washington’s net migration, has experienced a significant decline in its out-migration. This decline has had a considerable effect on Washington’s population growth. Driver’s license data indicate that over time, 40 to 50 percent of the net movement into Washington comes from California. The current 12-month license total of in-movers from California is 23,700 licenses. This is down by 10 percent from 26,400 last year and 38 percent as compared to 38,000 in 2006.

The neighbors on both sides of us moved up from somewhere's in California about 3 & 5 years ago respectively.... nice folks, but still kinda funny... makes sense.
