why the faux spring?

Normally we don't get these wind storms in October. That's usually in November

Why did you relocate?

"Rain" in Seattle is somewhat different from other places. It's less about deluges and big storms (though those do happen) and more about the constant presence of some form of rain for months on end. You moved in at a good time to miss that, but you'll certainly know what we mean by the time you reach your 1-year anniversary.

Has anyone successfully secured a job or received any human responses? I am applying to numerous positions, but I often encounter either scammers or automated responses. What strategies can one employ to obtain an interview? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?
