Thanks Tony, I've been there once before, but only for a day for training back when I worked for the airlines, and that one day, I have never seen so much beauty in the surrounding area of SEA. I have been yearning to return to Washington since the day I left. Tax and school is not the main reason I want to go up there, it is just the shear beauty. I've been in Florida my whole life, and it seems most of my friends that visits Washington, usually don't return. I will have to adjust from having 3-5" of rain per hour to 3-5" per few days.
I am lucky enough to find a job that allows me to travel, and I get to see the country. I will be spending the majority of the year in Utah, but I won't let that stop me for taking long weekends up there.
