I’m off to see the wizard

At the end of the month I’m moving to the Emerald City aka Seattle. If you’ve been watching my del.icio.us links you probably figured as much. I’ve been planning on moving for quite some time but I haven’t blogged about it until now since people I work with read my blog. I visited Boston and Chicago, both of which were in the running but settled on Seattle. Less traffic, fewer strip malls, more progressives, better art and music scene, cooler temperatures and quick access to snow and the ocean were a few of my reasons for choosing Seattle. Of course you do have crappy weather eight months out of the year but I think the tradeoffs are worth it. Washington will be the fifth state (see map below) I’ve lived in during my twenty-nine years on this planet. My last day at work is the 31st and I should be leaving on the first or second of September. Now I just need some money, a job and a place to live and I’ll be set.

My route so far.

A. Houston, TX to Charlotte, NC

B. Charlotte, NC to Austin, TX

C. Austin, TX to Clayton, CA

D. Clayton, CA to Charlotte, NC

E. Charlotte, NC to Atlanta, GA

F. Atlanta, GA to Seattle, WA
