I live here now

At long last, the move to WA is complete (or. Well, at least, I am now actually located in the state. I’m sure I’ll be unpacking for weeks/months). I’m fond of this observation because it marks my first observation as a WA resident!

I have moved from CA to WA during a pretty large CA exodus but the move has been firmly in the works since 2019 and it has been my dream to move permanently to the Pacific Northwest since 2001, when I lived in OR for a year and a half. I’ve spent 20 years trying to return to the PNW.

So happy to be here at last. I tried to enjoy CA and live a life there rather than centering my life around wanting to be somewhere else, but… now I’m where I should be, and it’s so much better.

@sedgequeen Thanks! Loving it so far (despite the fires at the moment). I hope you're doing all right with smoke where you are! It was bad here last weekend but it's clearing up, though seemingly only because all the smoke moved into Vancouver BC.

Smoke isn't too bad here in Klamath Falls (where I have another day's field work to do). Apparently it's really bad in Bend!
