Hold a knife while holding a fork? Is this like the equivalent of walking and chewing gum at the same time?? Sounds complex...

Define "poor man's trip"?? I had a vision of camping, eating canned beans by the campfire and no running water... Sounds like I'm headed to Kirkland?

Haha.

Ive traveled all around the world without ever planning anything. I have camping gear in the trunk and the money to stay in 5 star hotels. I just see what suits the night.

To truly appreciate anything you need to see the place with the eyes of a local. To learn more you need to be open.

I've spent a lot of time hating USA, but my road trips here have proven me the image shown to the world is twisted. It is a thing of beauty to let go of your prejudices.

Rome seen my way is not the Rome shown to a normal tourist. A gas station here is not one either.

Peter II would not enjoy the roads in Rome... Just saying...

And the images shown to the world; are we talking about the images shown courtesy of Fox News?? Because that's pretty awful and borderline tabloid news, lol...

You might want to consider Bainbridge Island.

Haven't heard where in 'North Seattle' the job is, but the commute from Bainbridge would be brutal. Bainbridge really only works if you can work from home or downtown so you can walk on.

hmmm, Amazon HQ. That's not far from the downtown core. South lake Union area. Could probably take a bus from the water front, so the Bainbridge wouldn't be too crazy. Worth a look.

Other areas: Sand Point, Wedgwood (could ride a bike or bus), Fremont/Wallingford, Greenwood as someone suggested earlier. Ballard is nice, but takes forever to get to/out of. Same goes for the Magnolia area.

Man oh man, do I love Seattle. I usually stay in Bellevue and just commute into the city for meetings. Was there two weeks ago, didn't rent a car and just took Uber everywhere. Worked great!
