Might be moving... to Seattle! Well I am moving to Seattle, it's just a matter of how soon. I have been taking frequent extended weekend trips out there as of lately. Remember the old white truck I had before that the engine blew out on me on the way to Dino's surprise birthday bash last year, well towed it over the pass, dropped in a new 22R engine and sold the thing. Spent the weekend with some friends in Freemont (great area!) and the Mardi Gras weekend in Seattle, talk about the cops out there. There were six cops on each corner, tons of harley cops too haha...
But it ocurred to me that weekend how much I love the Seattle region. I just thouroughly love it out there. So I put the word out to everyone I knew in college who are doing the daily grind at all the big corps like Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, Nintendo, Costco, anything to find a management or computer-related job.
Well the interviews are coming in off the job referrals. A reprographic company that specializes in blueprints for skyscrapers (they just printed out 600million blueprints for the new 47-story Washington Mutual building in Seattle) just lost their main IT guy and are in need of a new one. My name got thrown in the hat, and a promising interview is now upon me this week. I will be spending nearly all of the next few weeks in Seattle just pounding pavement, doin the job search, and start the transition to Seattle.
Got some good hits at Boeing and Microsoft. I dunno...maybe I'm too gung ho but I dont care, I just want to be there...
So we'll see what happens, I'll keep ya'll posted, but I am ooh soo tired of the daily eastern washington life.

Good luck beans. Wa state is a gret state to live in (I lived in tacoma for 4 years while stationed at McChord AFB) It rains a lot there but there are lots of good things to do there.

You'll love it out here Beans, lots to do.
As for the rest of you Nay-sayers, We are probably going to be doing some water rationing due to our "heavy" rainfall , and damn if it isn't in the 50s and sunny .

I know there is lots to do. I first moved to Washington back in 1996, as the military had me stationed out at Ft. Lewis for a few years. Between getting out of the military and starting college, I use to live in the Lakewood/Tacoma area. My entire time on that half of the state allowed me to spend every weekend in the Seattle area. I love that side of the state.
It was also in that Seattle rain where I self-taught myself to ride motorcycles, first bike was a 1990 Ninja 750R (with the cool japanese hyroglyphics they dont do anymore). That's why I dont mind riding in the rain.
But going up those hella steep hills in downtown Seattle, now that scares me. I gotta try to keep on the parallel streets that have no elevation changes hehe

I was born and raised in Port Angeles.....Beautiful country for sure!
Looking forward to going back out there this year, it's been 3 or 4 years since I've been "home".
The Hurricane Ridge area is awesome.

If you are in the area, give me a buzz! I'm on the Kitsap Peninsula, so it's just a hop across the bridge for me. Would be fun to ride up to HR again. ____________
