I’ve always vaguely thought I’d like to move to Seattle or somewhere in Washington. And living in Davis and Sacramento has made me start to seriously consider it. But I really struggled with the idea because my family and friends are very important to me and most of them are nearby right now. But I’ve finally accepted that the heat affects me too strongly to tolerate living here the rest of my life. I thought about the Bay Area as an option, but between the crowding which results in not enough job or housing options and horrific traffic it really isn’t feasible. Unless of course I win the lottery, but I’m not holding my breath on that one.
So I finally have decided to start seriously looking into housing and jobs in Portland or Seattle. I figure it will be at least a year before I can find both of those, so I need to start now.
If you don’t want to stay with Grandma Kay while checking out places in Seattle, you could stay with me, and I’m sure Emily or my parents would also be happy to let you stay with them…
Incidentally, Carolyn will be in town from July 30 to Aug 6, if that would randomly happen to coincide with a good time for you to come up and look around – you could manage to see one more of us at a time than you would otherwise. (=
