Belated Thoughts on Seattle

Yes, it has been quite a while since we have returned from Seattle and I have yet to type one single word or post a single picture of our test drive of the city. Maybe since things are still in limbo, maybe because the trip makes the decision that much harder...it would have been easy if we would have went there had horrible weather, saw horrible sights and came home never wanting to go back....but of course that was not the case. I absolutely love the area, we started out in Port Townsend with the familiarity of our favority bnb, favorite beach and witnessed the wonderful sight of the fog rolling in from Fort Warden. Friday we headed back to Seattle met up with Dji to start the official Seattle tour....the weather was PERFECT....here we are at Salty's enjoying happy hour strategizing our weekend to see as much as possible.....what we found was very expensive houses, yes I know it is not California but it is not Ohio either, we are very lucky here to have very reasonable priced real estate. So it would be quite a change to go from our 5 acres and lots of space to a smaller house with a much smaller yard with 2-3xs the price tag. But then again the area was lovely....all the water, the mountains, the views, the dog parks.....everything seemed a little slower, a little more laid back much much more relaxed....a very bike friendly city....all good things. We really like the area and there are only a few drawbacks but they are big ones...so so far away from family and friends....but if everything falls in place perhaps we'll make the move...but the timing may just not be right - we are ready for a new adventure and it may just be right around the corner....here are a fwe quick shots from around town.......
