My wife is excited about moving to the Northwest because she's wants to live in a new area and is tired of being here, and I am too. But, I think I may be more excited about moving to the Northwest because when we move up there, we're not going to live in the suburbs anymore. We picked our apartment here because it's close to work and it's close to a park, but over the past few months I've gotten more and more sick of living way out here in the suburbs. I always enjoy going into the city, but I wish I didn't have to drive into the city, I wish that we just lived there. I like spending time in the city, I like the buildings, the architecture, and the history. But, since we're always driving there and don't live there, I don't get to experience the city as much as I'd like because it's more inconvenient to have to drive and park to do stuff there. That's why I can't wait to move to the Northwest because I know that wherever we live, we're going to live in the city, and I'm going to be able to walk places. And, the cities themselves are more pedestrian-friendly than Dallas, so when I go walking, I won't be the only person on the sidewalk. I just can't wait to live in the city and I wish we were moving sooner.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.
