My husband and I want to move to the Northwest, hopefully in about 6 months when our lease is up in January 2008. We visited Seattle and Portland in May 2006 and really liked the area. We liked how the climate was different, more public transportation is used, and how much more beautiful it is. We’ve lived in the same place all our lives and are ready for a big change. Neither of us went to college out of state. Now is probably the best time to move far away while we don’t have children tying us down. If we don’t move now, we won’t be able to move for at least 15 years. We want to experience a new city and build our new marriage together in a place we can call solely our own. No one in either of our families has ever moved out of state except in the cases of being the air force or for a job. No one has voluntarily picked up and moved away. I’m sure our families will miss us, and we’ll miss them, but I think this change will be for the better. We're excited about moving, but it will be difficult. We'll share our thoughts and feelings on this blog over the next several months.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I'm starting here on your blog, because I am from Houston and looking to move to Seattle!
Here I go!
Go Nicole, go!
Go Nicole, go!
I'm starting at the very beginning of your blog because my boyfriend and I are looking to move to Seattle as well. It is a completely new place for both of us so I'm hoping to get some inspiration here!
I am here starting from the beginning as well because we are moving to Seattle pretty soon! From Houston too! Thanks for all the information you have gathered!
I know this is years later, but thanks for sharing your experiences. We were planning to relocate from Texas to Seattle a few years ago, but the rest of the family finally vetoed it at the last second when it was time to pack up and go. I still have a job for a company in Seattle that I ended up working remotely for and still get a little sad about how it turned out when I come visit Seattle. Anyway...
