Seattle or Portland?

Did you ever settle on a future destination for yourself?

I haven't decided yet. I've been to Seattle and I loved it there! However, I was a tourist and that is very different than living there. I would have to travel to each place and feel it out first. Maybe my next couple vacations will be there.

It's true, being a tourist can be very misleading. Better, if possible, is to rent an apartment by the month and try living in a place. Some cities, famously Barcelona, is considered a top world travel destination but often cited as being pretty hard to live in.

Don't tell @scottalanmiller that. He wants to live in Barcelona. Says it's his favorite place in the world.

@Reid-Cooper You do have a point though. However, I wouldn't be moving without having a job already, so, packing up and moving again a few months later isn't going to happen.

A friend of a friend of mine worked for HP in Barcelona for a while. He loved it. The only issue was that they worked to American time-frames but partied to Spanish time-frames. So they were out until 1am every night having fun but then expected to start work at 8am. He burnt out after a while.
-
Oh he worked local time. When I'm in Europe I work US hours so I can spend the day in activities and work at night.

It literally rains 6 out of 7 days a week here during the 5-6 months of summer. Lots of lightning in Florida, though
-
Chance of thunderstorm means thunderstorm. It may only rain for 20 minutes, but its gonna rain

Yeah, I'd prefer drizzle all day. I don't like pop-up storms. It's just muggy after and bleh!

London for you then.

@ajstringham Redmond is where Microsoft is at or at least a major part of it.

I knew it was in Washington but I meant in reference to something I might have more understanding on...

See @Bill-Kindle , that was helpful.

You should watch Frasier, that will help you get to know the Seattle culture.
