Leaving Seattle

Just did a U Haul index for leaving Seattle and the numbers are pretty spectacular.

First off, I did Seattle to Bellingham. I was not expecting a big difference as there is probably about $80+ basic administrative costs for a rental that will not be affected by the "desirability" of the route. But, there is a difference:

It is when we look out of state at a conservative part of the Nation that the numbers really show themselves - I chose Coeur D'alene, Idaho. Let's look at the two:

Holy crap - a 367% difference between the two routes. So many more people want to move from Seattle to Coeur D'alene that U Haul can charge a premium. They need 10' trucks in Seattle so bad that they offer a huge discount to people driving the other way.
