Mercer Island, then Kent, then renton, then bellevue, then Mercer Island, then Kent, then Renton and finally Bellevue (factoria) in anticipation of my move out here. I actually lived in the apartments just south of T-Mobile corporate. It is because the last five years I worked there. For the last year and a half I walked to work every day. Five minutes from door to desk.
Now I drive 50 minutes, but on deserted two lane highways at 70-80 mph. I love my commute, but I’m burnin’ through my car.
Ah. I had a house on the west hill of Kent for several years. Lived in Federal Way and Auburn, as well. Lived on Queen Anne hill in the mid 60’s and early 70’s(with a detour in the army) before it went to hell in a hand basket.
Lived in Gardiner by Sequim, up in Chinook pass, Olalla which is between Port Orchard and Gig Harbor, Seabeck, and Deer Park north of Spokane.
You just reminded my of something I have been meaning to write on prepping. Will try to post it tonight - have paid work to do first.
Thanks!
