I went to dinner this evening with a colleague from out of town. Since he didn’t have much experience with Seattle, I wanted to give him more than the standard Space Needle tour. So we went across Elliott Bay to Salty’s on Alki. While we ate some great food and talked about our kids, we watched ferries and tugs and towboats.
The mountain was out and the tide was at low slack, just about to turn. Sea lions hauled out on the camel next to a work barge howled to announce their presence. Several cormorants trolled around seemingly randomly. There was a bonfire on the beach and you could see forever up the throat of the main channel of the Sound.
I know we might not be here forever. Eventually, we’ll have to make a decision based on fiscal reality and where our children settle. It’s just that I can’t imagine ever voluntarily leaving this place.
AS long as you're working, stay put. That recent survey puts Washington as one of the best places to make a living.
