Much More Familiar With Seattle
Seattle, 6:45 PM: After having driven around the vast majority of Seattle today, I think I can accurately state that I am much more familiar with the area now. My parents and I looked at probably six or seven apartment complexes, none of which were perfect in my mind, but each one contributed to an overall idea of what an ideal location would be for when I start having the Microsoft relocation people help me search for one. I’m glad that we only really did this on the last day as I’m already pretty tired of it. Two more days of apartment looking would not make this trip nearly as enjoyable as it has been.
We’re about to go to dinner with a friend we have who lives here, and that should just about do it for what’s on our agenda for the trip. Tomorrow morning we’ll be leaving our hotel close to 10:30 to head to the airport, and then our noon flight will get to DFW around 6:00 (not a 6 hour flight, just a +2 hour time zone jump). It’ll be sort of strange to be heading back to Dallas just so that I can start getting ready to come back here again.
