I apologize for the scarcity of journal updates recently. I've been working hard to make my move to the west coast happen, and it seems that everything is just now falling into place.
My car, my roomate and I arrive in Duvall, WA on 5 or 6 September. We move into our two-bedroom on the 17th (The Lodge at Redmond Ridge). Immediately after, I will drink beer and dance. When the very large truck will arrive with my ish has yet to be determined, so I may be sleeping on the floor beside a few statues, my computer, a couple boxes of comic books, and a small pile of clothes, but that couldn't possibly bother me less. Now I need to find the nearest Ikea and coffee shop.
Edit: I managed to get an earlier move-in date. Now I'll be unpacking on 10 September. That's good news. I also booked the movers, and I think $1500 (for two people) is very reasonable for a cross-country move.
Gone home to CT to continue packing.

KEA is in Renton just off the 167.
I'm not sure if one of the little commerce hubs has popped up out there yet, but there are several Starbucks down in Redmond proper. Some people also like Victor's Coffee in Redmond.
