In addition to job interviewing on our trip, we'll also be touring apartments. We'll be renting a car in Seattle this time, so we'll be able to get around more easily. Last time we went, I didn't really see many places that really looked livable, so this time we'll be touring different areas and looking at apartments within the areas that appeal to us. Unfortunately, most of the apartments in Seattle are a couple hundred dollars more than the ones in Portland, but I'm sure we can find something in a good area for a decent price. We probably won't have time to do much apartment searching in Portland, but I'll try to have everything lined up so that we can check out a few places. Ideally we'll be able to choose an apartment that we like the most in each city so that when we get a job offer, we won't have to go back up there to find a place to live and can just mail the application form in. Our trip is less than a month away, how exciting.
