Right? I crack myself up.and I thought thiswasgoing to be a discussion with a brine Shrimp fetish
Thanks Toshi.
I'll be in Des Moines and Seattle on Thursday.
I've spent a bunch of time in the Muk...
There is a brewery in town, Diamond Knot Brewing Company. It is pretty good from what I hear (I don't drink)
There is also a trail to ride, Japanese Gulch, if you have a bicycle.
Down at the Clinton Ferry terminal there is a nice Ivar's restaurant. If you like Chowder or seafood I suppose.
My cousin lives in Muk if you need anything, let me know.
I'm assuming your going to Boeing... that place is crazy big. Drove past it yesterday after spending the day on Whidbey Island with my family.
There are tons of breweries in Seattle proper, Mukilteo is about 35-60 minutes north depending on traffic.

Thursday night?
Yeah I'll have a little time off to explore, so stuff like that's what I'm after. No bike unfortunately. Thanks a bunch.
Up to southeast Asia?
Seattle blows
Coming from you, that sounds like about as strong a recommendation for a city as I'm going to get.
Yeah. Unfortunately the job is in Mukilteo and as single guy in his 20's it seems preeeety quiet up there. I'd love to live close but not sure how well I can do that and be somewhere I'm into living. Public transport doesn't really make it up there.
Public transit makes it the other way pretty well, from Muk to Sea and back for people working in Seattle, living in Mukilteo. Community Transit rt 880, or so it was a few years back.
Going your way, living south and working in Muk, doesn't work, though, you're right...
Compromise: Live in Ballard and reverse commute in a car up 99? I'd definitely live north of downtown for the northbound commute. Don't want to be crossing downtown every day.

Enjoy the rain.
Jealous. Man it would be awesome to be single in SEA.
Ha, Mukilteo is a pretty quiet place. Fremont/Ballard is hip and vibrant. It would be an easy commute but traffic can be hell at the right times of day. If you had odd commute hours the drive would be cake. There is also the interurban trail which is pretty extensive. Look it up and you will find that you can get around pretty well on a bicycle. edit - If you don't mind rain 3/4 of the year haha

It would seem like Ballard would be a pretty good place to get hooked on heroin. There are always plenty of tweaked out zombies stumbling around near the locks.
or Queen Anne, get on at Mercer. 99 all the way to mukilteo would be a pain with all the lights. I lived in two places on Queen Anne and also up by Northgate right near 99 (really ****ty neighbourhood), right by the cemetery and hospital. I was working in Everett 99 was never the best way to go.
The only good thing about Seattle is its proximity to Vancouver.

Always looking to try something new. Thanks!
But unless something drastic has happened in the 8 years since I left, public transit was totally worthless. of course I come from a place where it is socially acceptable to take public transit. and therefore it's pretty well supported. It was my experience that public transit in Seattle was seen as for poor people only.
When my knees were bothering me last winter I was forced off the bike and onto the bus for about a month. Most of the other bus riders were professionals going to and from work.

duh.
Seattle has the worst traffic in the USA. or in the top 3-5.
Ballard is the worst place to live if you want to leave/get home. If you work in Ballard, living there could be cool, if you're young/hip/etc.
Working in Muk = you want to live someplace north of seattle.
When i first got there, I asked my co-workers about commuting with public transit. They are screwed up their faces and said "WHY?? You have a job." maybe things have changed.
Did you ever consider the fact that their revulsion was a response to talking to you and not the question posed?
I grin with much amusement at picturing MMike on a public bus in America sitting between Epic Beard Man and Amber Lamps.
No I could tell the difference between the two revulsions
This is highly dependent on the route and neighborhoods served. White Center bus crowd is a far cry from, say, the 71 to UW
