Whitewater Forum : moving to WA, have some questions Author: JayN
Subject: moving to WA, have some questions
Posted: 27 Jan 2016 at 1:41pm

I'm located in downtown Issaquah and I've found that it's a pretty good balance of commute / proximity to paddling. MM is about 20 minutes east of Issaquah and can be had after work in the spring months. Green is about 30 minutes south and the Sky is 45-1hr north. I live right downtown and I'm walking distance to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc... and it's way cheaper than Seattle. I work in Georgetown (South Seattle) and my commute averages about 45 minutes in the fall and winter and 20-30 in the spring and summer.

That said, there are definitely some pro-tips to keep in mind when it comes to moving to Seattle and dealing with the traffic.

1. Traffic North/South of Seattle is waaaaay worse than East/West. My buddy's commute from Ballard to South Seattle (8 miles) would often take the same amount of time as my commute from issaquah (18 miles)...

2. If you decide to live outside of the city, try to find a spot near the freeway that you'll take into the city. Some of the worst traffic in Seattle can be found on the way to and from the freeways.

3. This is kind of general advice, but if you're stoked on a spot, drive the commute at 8:00am in the morning and 5pm at night before you commit.

4. If you want to paddle everyday, you really should just move to Leavenworth and make your Girlfriend take online classes.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Cheers,
J

If predictions are right the Naselle should be in again on Thursday. I'll be checking flows early AM and bailing on work to go surf if it's in. I don't usually post about this because I don't want my wave too crowded, but I can't rally the normal crew. Meet me in Oly early and hop in the van for a ride to the best play hole in WA.
