Where Do The Alaskan Bush People Live Now

So, where are the Brown family, a.k.a. the Alaskan Bush People, living these days? It's a question that's been buzzing around since they packed up their bags (or rather, their shipping containers) and left the Alaskan wilderness.

Turns out, they've traded snow-capped peaks for… well, more snow-capped peaks, but in a different state! They’ve landed in Washington State, specifically on a whopping 435-acre property near the town of Tonasket.

Browntown 2.0: The Sequel

Imagine this: you're used to seeing the Browns battling the Alaskan elements, building their own log cabins from scratch. Now picture them doing… pretty much the same thing, just with slightly less extreme weather warnings. Think of it as "Alaskan Bush People: The Lower 48 Edition."

They call their Washington homestead "North Star Ranch." And yes, they’re still building. From the looks of it, the construction projects are never really finished! Apparently, figuring out exactly where everything should go has been... a journey. A muddy, lumber-filled journey.

What's the Buzz about Washington?

Why Washington, you ask? Good question! The family has cited a few reasons, health concerns for matriarch Ami Brown being a big one. The milder climate and easier access to medical care were definite pluses.

Plus, let's be honest, even the hardiest bush dweller probably wouldn't turn down the chance for slightly less bone-chilling winters. Less chance of frostbite? Yes, please!

From Wilderness to… Well, Less Wilderness?

Now, some fans might argue that Washington isn't quite as "bushy" as Alaska. It's true, there are roads, stores, and even (gasp!) internet access nearby. But the Browns are still doing their best to live off the land.

Think gardening on a grand scale, building quirky structures, and generally embracing the "make it work" attitude that we've come to love (and sometimes scratch our heads at). They’ve even been experimenting with raising livestock! Imagine Billy Brown wrangling… chickens.

Life on the Ranch: What's New?

So, what are they up to besides building and gardening? Well, Noah Brown became a dad! That’s right, a whole new generation of bush babies (though, admittedly, these ones probably have access to diapers and baby wipes). Family is everything to the Browns.

Bear Brown also got married and started a family, adding to the growing clan. There's always plenty of love and drama swirling around the Brown family.

The Future of the Alaskan (Well, Washington) Bush People

The Browns' move to Washington has been an adjustment, no doubt. It's been a shift in scenery, but at the heart of it, they're still the same family, tackling life on their own terms.

While Alaska will always be a part of their story, it seems Washington is where they're planting their roots for now. Who knows what the future holds? But one thing is for sure: it'll be an adventure, and probably involve a lot of lumber.

“We are so excited to finally put down roots on our own land,” said Ami Brown in an interview. “We can’t wait to build our dream home.”

So, next time you're wondering where the Alaskan Bush People are, just picture them in Washington, covered in sawdust, probably arguing about the best way to build a chicken coop. It’s a new chapter in their story, and it's just as wild and unpredictable as ever.
