Living in Lava Zone 2

[achutch3]

Achutch3, we're in Lava Zone 3, BUT we fell in love with Kapoho and bid on a house there. We were outbid. It turned out to be a blessing, because that house no longer exists. LZ3 is more comfortable, but you have to ask yourself why LZ9 exists. Also: I was awakened by Mt. St. Helens on Whidbey Island when it blew out over 100 miles away. What if Mt. Rainier or Mt. Baker went off? The risk is difficult to assess. I would recommend LZ3, but hey...Rat Lungworm risk is higher here...read that thread. Aloha!

Hey bgiles,

Thanks for the insight and glad it worked out flor you.  Good points on the Washington and overall LZ risks.

I'm leaning towards LZ3 or higher but wanted to start this thread to maybe gain some more understanding from others already there and possibly people actually living in 2 and their toughts and feelings.
