Back from Seattle
Sorry folks! I’ve been MIA for a while because we’ve been in Seattle checking out the city and deciding whether or not it is the place to move to. Well, after much thought and discussion, we’ve decided that Seattle will most likely be our new home! Now we’ll just have to work out the kinks and start downsizing. We currently live in a 4br townhouse and have accumulated a bit of junk. We’re looking to move into a 2br/2ba apartment in Seattle so we’ll need to spend lots of time on Craigslist trimming down on stuff. I’m glad we’ll be downsizing because after living in such a big house, I really do believe the bigger the house you have the more money you spend to furnish it! I am however, sad that we won’t be owning property. I really hope we can get back into the world of real estate before home prices get too high again. Sometimes I wonder if this move is a good idea. It’s definitely a great place to raise well rounded kids but with our families back east I’m sometimes conflicted. My husband doesn’t seem to have this problem as he just does it without worrying so much. Would you ever move across country to save yourself from state income taxes? Would you move far from your family to give your kids a good environment to grow up in?

After I graduated from high school, I wanted desperately to move to either Seatle or Portland. But after marrying my wife from college, and her desire to be close to her family, I stayed local…
To this day, I’ve never been to either Seatle or Portland (I’ve been to San Fran a few times, and it was great!)
I wish you luck on your potential move!

Beneficial web site, thank you for making it. I was whacked by one of these scams also, I created my account at Craigslist Scam
