Recently Microsoft and I mutually chose each other for employment, I moved to Seattle area and joined them exactly a month ago. I must say it has been a very different experience as compared to my other first months at work.
Seattle first, I am not really a "city-boy", I love the calm and peace of suburbs and beyond, however I am also married now, hence bowing to the demands of my other half my humble abode shall be situated in the city for at least the next one year. On the positive side Seattle is possibly the only city in United States where I can possibly think about affording a decent apartment in the vicinity of downtown. Seriously if you have spare money then invest it in Seattle real-estate, it seems to be under-valued for a major city. The city does still has that white-hippy vibe to it, and from first impressions I am liking it (except the rain of course). It does rain a lot, but it doesn't pour, it's just something a little more than drizzling so life doesn't stop or get affected much for that matter.
As an experiment we are also trying a life without cable TV, it seems a lot of people across this country have cut cable cords so I figured why not. To be honest, it's more about Comcast's pricing, customer "focus" etc. that made me decide that I don't want cable TV. So for now I am going to depend on Internet and Xbox for entertainment.
More to come on Life in Seattle in future...
