    Never even been there. Still waiting on vedders invite although he prob spends more time in Hawaii then Seattle. Come to think of it, never been to Hawaii either. So he can just send my invite for Hawaii before Seattle.

    I visited monthly for about a year and a half and a number of other times around....1998? 1999? Had a client there I was working closely with.
    Really good people up there but it was too rainy for me and the women seemed to all wear bulky clothes due to that weather. Coming from CA this was not something I enjoyed. :(

    No, I'm a native, born and raised.

    I was here when it wasn't cool to live here.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Yes: but it had nothing to do with the band
    I was working as a news photographer / editor at WTVR, the CBS affiliate in Richmond VA...
    my news director got a job offer to be the news director at KING5's new 24 hour news operation - NorthWest Cable News.
    After he had accepted the job,
    he asked me if I would like join the start-up team as Chief Editor / Photographer.
    I think it took me a whole minute to think about it and say HELL YES!!!
    I moved out to Seattle in September of '94 & was there until March of 2000.
    I never would've left if it had been up to me (ex-wife wanted to be closer to family) and I miss the Pacific NW EVERYDAY!!!

    I would love to move to the northwest. The home of Pearl Jam and other great bands would just be a bonus.

    Yes: but it had nothing to do with the band
    I used to be in the commercial fishing industry and would live there on my off months. I had fun in the Queen Anne, Ballard and U district. Used to hang out at the Fenix? underground and see bands. I remember seeing The Beatniks. Circa 95-97.

    Rained a lot… Quit and went back to Cali and some sun!

    I live a few hours north! You could bounce between Columbus and here. :smiley:

    Would I move to Seattle? We've talked about visiting Seattle. Regarding the Pacific Northwest-- maybe someday my park naturalist husband will look for a job out that way. I'm an artist. I could work anywhere. I'm sure that there are plenty of art galleries for me to continue to do the display staff gig. And the weather? Studies say that Seattle actually has more sun than NE Ohio. I might find the change shocking and may not have to take as many Vitamin D supplements! ;)

    The weather actually isn't miserable in Seattle, the Summers are gorgeous, same with Spring and the Fall. In the winter in rains instead of snows for the most part.

    I'd say you'd move to wherever the local CBS affiliate is hiring! Ha!
