Seattle in the summer

 Seattle in the summer is an extremely pleasant place, I'm told. The temperatures don't exceed 25C, it's a little chilly in the morning and the evenings, which is fine because you'll need a light jacket anyway, and the skies are mostly clear to view the mountains seas and the lakes. The city is exceedingly green because of all the rain and the shine it gets, the fertile soil, and it looks like a literal piece of heaven. The best place in America to live during the summer to live, I've been told on multiple occasions.

So there have been considerations and decisions are being made on whether it would make sense to move to the city for the three summer months and possibly one or two more while the work situation is still flexible. It wouldn't be a longer-term move, but an exploratory expedition, to delve into the possibility of making a more protracted personal investment into the region. Some friends have rooted themselves in this area quite deeply, and any move here would be an extension to that. There is no long term potential, in terms of decades here for me, NoVa will always be in my heart, but something to consider for the middle-term.

First it was because the people here were interesting enough and I wanted to spend more time with them. Then I told my parents about it and they were super duper duper excited about it. Then I discovered it wouldn't work out with the people I was hoping to hang in the summer, which is fine because I already made so many family and friends plan. It's not a certainty yet, still an option that's being evaluated, but one that I'm looking at seriously. At this point the only thorn in my decision is the apartment back in Boston, how to get rid of it for the next four months, because I do not want to be paying through the nose for two places in two cities. I'm not making money anywhere close to be able to do that. 

In any case, options are being evaluated.
