Anders notes that many tech employees from San Francisco and Seattle flock to nearby Bend for its beautiful mountain range and abundance of co-working spaces.
"Bend has had a long culture of being a place where people will work from home, it's become a magnet for remote employees," Anders says. "Especially during the pandemic, if you're in a big, crowded city, you need to mask up more often and follow stricter guidelines, but out in the countryside, there's less people to worry about and more outdoor activities to do, so you can enjoy a better work-life balance.
