This job gets us there. If it's a good fit and I'm happy there, making a bit less won't break my heart. If it's not a good fit, then it's easier to find another job when I'm local, and it always seems easier to get a new job when you have a job. Remote work is also more of a possibility since the plandemic.

    A big concern is getting my wife to an elevation that should alleviate much of her breathing issues. Once the fires are out, the air quality there is also significantly better than here on the front range. Being closer to my folks and getting to spend more time with them before they're gone is the other priority. Since I won't be spending all of my vacation time to go visit my folks, we'll also have the opportunity to visit my father in law more often.
    Yeah. I know what you are talking about in terms of breathing. Sister in law and mil/fil moved to WA from 2 different states.
    Mostly same reason. It was cleaner air and fill had breathing issue as well.

    I?m sure they?re loving the air quality with all of the wildfires right now.

    Cleared out today. This morning, the air quality index in Sequim, WA was 14, which is very good. Here, it was 117, which was unhealthy.

    The fires will end, but the front range will always be the front range. Air quality here has been getting worse as more and more people come here.

    My first wife had breathing issues and died here in CO. I'm trying to give my 2nd the best opportunity possible.

    Eastern part of King county reminds me of climate similar to Aspen/Crested Butte/Pitkin area during summer and late summer.
    It is cheaper alternative to a cooler CO mountain area.

    Oh yeah, the Aspen and some area of Washington State is known for top quality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrackenBracken. It is invasive species and both state will ticket people who take em. They should reward people for taking it.


    Evolutionarily, bracken may be considered one of the most successful ferns. It is considered highly invasive, and can survive in acid soils.[2]

    I spent some time tonight cleaning and polishing my balls, and they look fantastic. I still need to wax them before breaking or playing with them again though.
