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.

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
