I haven't blogged for a while or commented on many people's blogs (sorry about that). Just been a little frenetic trying cram in work while organising this trip to the USA. We're off on Sunday to browse Seattle. Like window shopping, only for a new country to live in. Weird.
We have 3 dinner dates, 1 drinks party, 1 lunch date and 3 school appointments lined up. I would have liked more school appointments but they're all really busy at this time of year with their applications for the next school year. I have a map of the different areas. I have memorised top schools by district. I know the average house price by area. We've had one call with a local mum/business person and one call with an estate agent. I feel sure I should have done more but not sure what.
I have written the List of All Things for the person looking after our children. I almost very nearly organised. Yet I feel sick with the stress of it all.
I am really hoping that we get there and that I either LOVE it or LOATHE it. Anywhere in the middle ground will not help this decision making process.
So here goes nothing. I will report back....

Have a great time. Sounds like you've done tonnes of research! (Unlike me, who turned up with no idea about houses, schools etc......)
Good luck!
You are very organised. I loved Seattle. Didn't expect to at all. Hope you feel as strongly one way or the other as you want to. I look forward to hearing your verdict.
Think you'll love it. And hey, it's not for ever (is it?)
Good LUCK! I'm in Oklahoma, never been to Seattle though.

Have a fantastic time! I absolutely LOVE Seattle. Amazing city - it strangely felt much more like home than Chicago (probably the slightly more mild and temperate - ie gloomy - weather...plus all the incredible scenery)
Can't wait to hear all about it.

hello, popped over from Nappy Valley's place after hearing you may move to Seattle. I'm a Brit living in San Francisco and I have a great friend (American) who lives in Seattle. she blogs here at http://www.mommyneedsalatte.com/ and I'm sure she would give you some tips about the place. I love Seattle, personally, its a really nice city. Best of luck!
