Go West

Earlier today we emailed the following to practically everyone we know. Yes, we spammed our friends. :-) I'm posting it here just in case we missed someone.


After many years in the Boston area (17 for Elizabeth and 8 for Tom), we are moving on. Elizabeth has accepted a new job in the Seattle area, and we will be moving there in January. We'll be sad to leave our many friends in Boston, but this opportunity was too exciting to pass up. We're also happy to be moving much closer to Elizabeth's family in California.

Elizabeth will be working as a patent attorney for Intellectual Ventures in Bellevue. Tom will continue to work part-time for LiftPort in Bremerton, and will probably continue to run his technical illustration business for at least a while, as well. We expect to live in rental housing as we're getting our bearings and selling our Boston house, but we expect to settle into someplace relatively permanent in or near Bellevue sometime in 2005.

We'll be having a "farewell to Boston" party before we go, for those of you who are in the area. We're trying to pick the date that is best for everyone who's interested in attending. The party would start in the early afternoon on a weekend day. These are the days we're looking at:
Sunday, 12/12
Sunday, 12/19
Saturday 1/8
Sunday, 1/9
Please let us know which dates you can not attend (if you're hoping to attend at all). You can also feel free to express a preference for a particular date.

We will definitely still be keeping the blog up-to-date with all our Seattle happenings, and we'll do our
best to stay in touch with everyone. Please be sure to let us know if you're heading into our area, as we'd love to see you.

Ah yes....it makes sense...since you are no longer in Kansas, the goal is to move to the Emerald City.

Didn't tell your coworkers...

Or at least all of them.

Good to hear though, congrats!

Hey, you're moving closer. Actually, Seattle is one of our favored cities, but I just can't seem to find a job there.

I think Seattle overall is having a bit of an economic tough time (at least relative to the rest of the country). They have one of the highest unemployment rates of the country, and they're dependent on a few big companies (Microsoft, Boeing).

Good luck finding a job!
