I noticed that about 200 people have moved from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area where I live to Seattle. I often dream of that move. I spent ten days out there sailing and backpacking one summer. Nine sunny days, and it only rained on then tenth.
I'm wondering if anyone here has moved out to Seattle from somewhere similar to NC, and could tell me what their reaction was?
- nihilocrat 16y agoI have some friends from college who made such a move. They said it's ridiculously expensive, rainy all the time (duh), and it gets much hotter in the summer than anyone wants to admit, because it's hard to find a place with A/C. Of course, they are loving it anyways, they are both employed by a publisher of roleplaying books, and they are both huge roleplaying nerds. I would have moved out there if I had the chance, but instead I got relocated to Montreal and I'm quite liking it here.
- greyboy 16y agoI've only visited there from Raleigh and never followed through with finding a job. Probably wouldn't be our cup of tea, overall. However, the map for Wake County confirms the mass influx of people that have been moving to the area as of late (well, in the past decade): http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-interactive-counties-map.html?preload=37183 http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...
