The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Seattle Edition

We are waiting to have the Internet hooked up at our house, which could be awhile, so I am sitting in a gigantic Starbucks to make this post. The move is complete, which is a relief. We are now getting settled in our new environs, and pictures will follow!

The Good:

• There is a huge lavender plant right outside our front door that smells amazing.
• Living near the U Village and some pretty awesome shopping and restaurants.
• The growing list of things to do in Seattle.
• Driving through downtown and seeing the "big city" (as Madison calls it).
• Being able to walk or take the bus places.
• Having a playground at our complex.
• Having an urban trail right behind our house.
• Our "yard" covered in blackberries.
• Mt. Rainier, the trees, the ocean, etc.
• A Metropolitan Market right down the trail from our house with so many gourmet things I want to try!

The Bad:

• The cost of living is astronomical!
• No Walmart in a 15 mile radius.
• Trying to park a Ford Explorer in tiny little spots.

The Ugly:

• Our carpet! Any volunteers to come clean it?
