We may be moving back to the area, next year. Not Bainbridge, I’m afraid, but downtown. The commute just isn’t an option during residency. I’m wondering if you have a wonderful friend you’d recommend who knows the ins and outs of Seattle neighborhoods and would help us get some ground truth when we visit? I’m doing my homework on the web, but you know as well as I do that reality doesn’t always match the internet. We’re particularly interested in Montlake Terrace, Volunteer Park, Arboretum area, Madison Park, Leschi… Then we also feel like we should look some north of the ship canal, although we’re less enthusiastic about it.

We’ll be coming out some time in December/January to check out the residency programs and check out neighborhoods. We’ll know in March where we’re going, and then we’ll have almost NO time to sell here and buy there before Sam starts work July 1. We’d need somebody on the ball.

I so wish you worked the Seattle side! Reading about your picture-taking reminded me all over again of how much you give to your lucky clients.

Take care,
Tracy
