My family and I want to move from Florida to the Seattle area in 5 years. My husband is in Aerospace Engineering. We both love nature, hiking, and rock climbing. We prefer cool rain over sunshine, miss seeing the seasons, and love to cook.
Any advice, Pros VS Cons, anything to look out for ?
Thank you in advance!

I think you will love it here then. I'd recommend looking for places to settle outside of the city like in Snohomish County and a little more rural. You will get more home and space for the money.

I mean a big con is how much it rains here. I also moved here from Florida and I feel like I hardly see the sun. I would rather be living in Florida to be honest.

I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
