Success. We made it to Seattle. And our first reaction- rain, what rain? It’s 70 degrees and sunny. Feels like the Bay Area. No complaints so far. (Okay, knock on wood. I’m sure those comments are going to come back to haunt us.)
Now on to the mission of finding a home. We’ve spent the first two days scouring around the area trying to get a feel for the neighborhoods- checking out restaurants, parks, commutes, etc. I think we are narrowing things down to a couple of places, which seems to agree with our initial thoughts based on our early research- Greenlake and Queen Anne seem to fit us well, while Magnolia and West Seattle are maybes. We took a look at the eastern towns: Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland. Eh. Too much traffic, too little culture. We hoping to line something up by this weekend.

I laughed when I read “too little culture.” You should see IF. We got nothin.’ Everyone here is white and no one knows what a fish taco is. Or, get this, black beans. Doi.
