I would love to hear opinions good or bad about Seattle Washington... anything would help...
You see my husband and I are trying to make a huge decision, at least it feels huge...
Take job in Washington or stay within driving distance near family with a job he's not happy in...
If he took a job in NYS, it would be for a lot, and the cost of living is higher...
Washington, although cost of living is higher, so is the salary scale...
He is being offered a job there with Boeing...Anyways my question is "What is the Seattle and surrounding areas like?" Would anyone suggest moving there? We would be moving far away from our family in Northern NYS, parents, grandparents for our two children, aunts and uncles, etc. I don't want to take the kids away from them, but if I had a choice at being able to help provide a better way of living and fly home a couple times a year, that's what we'd like to do...It's not like we'd only be a day's drive anymore...we're now in Northeast Ohio, so Ny isn't that far...They would understand, but I'd love to hear any input whats so ever on this one...please...
But is Seattle worth it??? Statistically it looks alright, but realisticly, who knows???
It's just hard...We'd be all the way across the country...Of course when we were in the military, we lived in California for a number of years and were pretty happy...But everyone, had an understanding that is was just temporary...
I guess I'm just trying to get a feel for the Northwest before we invest in the trip to go and check it out. We're somewhat strapped for $$$ right now, (which is another reason for heading west)...
Thanks for everything guys,
Carrie
PS... Love the blog pics....Can't wait to get started, the anticipation rises...
