I'm so nervous yet excited. Excited enough to scream!
I requested time off from my jobs this weekend and will be flying out to Seattle for the first time!
Weeeeeeee!
I can't tell you how many times people have asked if I've been there before or told me I should move to Seattle when I mention LOVING rainy weather.
So for the next five days I'm going to see what it's like firsthand.
I don't know a soul there and am a bit afraid but don't want those things to ruin this opportunity. God knows it might be a while before I can take time off again and the future is guaranteed to no one.
So bring on the rain, clouds, and mild temps!
Whether I'm ready or not...Seattle, here I come!

Oh, Seattle is one of my favorite places. I just don't love that much rainy weather -- Seattle Rain Festival, Jan. 1 - Dec. 31...
But what an amazing city (and area). Have a ball. I hope you fall in love with it.
Good for you Dean!
We just went there a few weeks ago, it was my first trip to the west coast. I LOVED Seattle. I, too, love the rain, and we had sunny weather! What is with that? :-)
Have a ball, can't wait to hear about your trip!
My husband is from Seattle and he always says it is really nice. I can't wait to visit myself. Have a safe and fun trip!
Enjoy your mini-vacation. Hopefully Seattle will be dark and damp enough for you.
Haha, that's the spirit, fear keeps us from doing things, confidence moves us forward. Have fun there! ^^
Good for you, have a great time and hope you find a new favorite place, if not a new place...
WOW~ I love it! You GO my friend. I am so excited for you. I know you're taking your camera, and I'm sure I speak for others here when I say that we're looking forward to hearing and seeing all about it! Love you.
Yay!! Go and explore and have a great time!!! Bon Voyage!
oh wow! You'll love it. I was out there last year. So beautiful.
Have fun! take pictures! Go to The Capitol Hill area :)
Sounds like a great adventure for you! I hope it goes well :-)
Hope everything is going well. It's a city I never visited although I spent a little time in Portland.

Dean, hope you enjoy your flight and time there. You will enjoy the break and new experience I am sure. Look forward to hearing the details :)

It was sunny just two out of the five days I was there so I lucked out in terms of getting cool, rainy weather.

So glad you liked it, Dean. Can't wait to read about your trip.
Mitch!
Thanks!

I am not positive, but I think your first trip to Seattle overlapped with my last trip to Seatte. My son had moved to Bremerton. I spent the first few nights in the city since he was working. I went to Bremerton for a few days and spent the last night back in Seattle before flying home. I love what I have seen of Seattle and Washington.
Dean!
Small world!
Maybe we walked past one another on the street and didn't even know it!
