Washington State

I live in Oregon so I have been to Washington many times. Its very similar to Oregon so naturally I love it. I have family abd friends that live in various parts of the state. Its a beautiful and green place.

I was supposed to go to Seattle last weekend to visit my friend Katie, and I was so terribly excited. We were planning, and I was going to get to see one of my good friends… and I got a great rate on the flight! It was going to be perfect. Two weeks before my trip, I got laid off from my job… I had thought that I would still go on the trip… but I talked to the people at my previous job, and they only way they would rehire me is if I started immediately… so Seattle had to be put on hold. I am so disappointed. I was really looking forward to it.

A year of canceled trips… meh.

Beautiful, green, lush, delicious.

Seattle is not only a fabulous place to visit, but a great place to live. I have met people who are not from Washington and say they have visited Seattle and if circumstances allowed, would choose to live there. I have never met anyone who is from Washington and didn’t want to continue to live there. Although I live in LA for school, I too plan on returning. I love the NW culture!

Owing to the fact that I had to cancel my trip to Koln due to a family emergency… I have been a bit restless with the travel bug. When I saw a really cheap fare to Seattle in a few weeks, I decided to snap it up. One of my friends from high school/college is working on her Phd in Seattle, so I am going to visit her in April. She came to visit me when I was studying in Florence, and we had a marvelous time together. I also have a lot of family up in the area, so perhaps I will get to see them as well! I couldn’t be more excited! I’m going for a long weekend. The only thing I have on my agenda so far is Pike’s Market. If anyone has any suggestions, I will definitely take them!

I was kind of crazy when I left college. I moved to Puyallup to be closer to a guy I was in love with who was in the army. We split up while I was there, but there was so much majesty and the landscape is picturesque. The people I met weren’t very friendly, but it might have just been where I was located. Seattle was fun. The underground tour was really neat. I went to see Mt. Rainier and Mt. St Helens. I spent a good amount of time working in Seattle Center three blocks from the Space Needle and the Puget Sound was absolutely breathtaking.

Two years later and I’m in freakin’ Pensacola Florida. I’d murder my grandmother to live here again…

I was so excited. I had never really been to anywhere that had mountains that I had to drive through. It was scary and yet it was thrilling as well. I was able to tour Seattle and the Northern part of the state. I loved seeing Deception Pass and Pugent Sound is breathtaking in the spring.

This was the only place I’ve ever been to for a business trip. I went there to train for a job, which I didn’t stay at for very long but it was an experience. It’s a nice place, seattle is fun, Pikes place has a really great chilli place (or it did back in 00’) I wouldn’ mind going back
