Living in or living near Seattle?

Yesterday, Ryan, Smartz, the kids and I took a trip out to Issaquah, a small town just outside of Seattle. We hiked up Tiger Mountain, one of the Issquah Alps. It was a beautiful day and nice to get out of the city.

City life.Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love living in Seattle. Even though our neighborhood is the home of crack deals and hooker motels, it’s a great place. Ok, maybe not great. We don’t go out at night, but we really don’t feel threatened or anything.

Seattle offers a ton of great things to do. You’ve probably heard me go on and on about all of these things over and over. It’s got everything I could ever want. Except countryside.

My passion, as you might have guessed, is riding. I’ve got two scooters and both are incredibly fun to ride. Riding in the city is alright, it’s much better than driving. But riding in the countryside is where the true passion of my passion resides.

Tiger MountainLiving where we do, we’re basically city-locked (sort of like being land-locked). We’ve got a huge lake to the east, the Sound to the west, more city to the north and even more city to the south. Getting to the open road is no easy task from where we are.

The thought of living in the Issaquah area is an interesting one. Ryan and Jamie are thinking of that area as well. It would be nice to continue living near them. It would also be nice to be near the countryside. In any one of the many number of towns around Seattle, you’re right up against a mountain or near a river or waterfalls. There are rolling hills and farms, country roads and history.

Seattle is great. I love living here. But maybe living near Seattle would be even better.
