Re: seattle (flubuyu2)
i know theres quite a few corvette owners in washington state theres even a few ZR-1 owners :cool:
me as you can see i am roughly a 2 hour drive away from Seattle i'm across the border in canada but yeah theres plenty of corvettes in this area of canada and the usa so don't worry about it and as for job oppurtunities? i'm sure something will come up depending on if you got a degree or part of a trade or something.
take care and i'm sure the washington members will all chime in soon
:seeya

Re: seattle (flubuyu2)
TRAFFIC IN SEATTLE IS BRUTAL . I MOVED TO TACOMA WHEN MY UNION HALL RELOCATED. LESS TRAFFIC, TAXES AND HOMES ARE REASONABLE,
ALSO EASY COMMUTE TO S.I.R. AND BREMERTON RACEWAYS ALSO TWO VETTE RESTORATION SHOPS IN AUBURN & PUYALLUP.
SEE YA ON THE ROAD.... i'LL WAVE

Re: seattle (flubuyu2)
The cost of living here is very high and the traffic sucks with little chance of improvement in the near future. Check out king5.com komotv.com seattleinsider.com It's the most beautiful place in the states imho and there are many great places to drive, mountains, ocean whatever. If you decide to go for it, look me up and I'll help out any way I can.

Here is a link to the local Corvette Club. Nice group of people. Interesting meetings too. I remember Dick Gulstrand was a guest a while back.

Re: seattle (flubuyu2)
Yep a real active Corvette community - Lots of clubs and events- Some are mostly Waxers -Some are mostly cruisers and some are mostly Racers - But a great Vet community up here and things going on all the time -- A very active Autox Community on the I5 corridor between Portland and Vancouver BC - Lots of Cruizes also -- Jobs are kind of a crap shoot so just check out the sources the other folks have posted ---
