  1. Crazy, I guess I have to vote for Trump now. Things are worse for MAGA than I realized if this is the best they can do.
  2. Maybe read your link before you post it next time.
  3. For Charles, sure. For Carlos, not so much.
  4. This state is full of and run by such soft fucking wannabee authoritarian snowflakes. Yeah, let's dispatch UTPD and fucking DPS riot cops for some students conducting an antiwar protest on campus. That's the kind of society we should strive to be. Jesus. I'm ashamed to be a UT alumni today. Really disappointed in Hartzell and university leadership. They're either spineless or on the wrong side and I'm not even sure which is worse.
  5. Huh. The more you know. For whatever reason Woodinville was farther east in my mind. Thanks for the correction,
  6. Edmonds would be sweet I just haven't seen anything in our sweet spot on the affordability/desirability spectrum. Seems like good quality rentals up there are expensive even by local standards and what's affordable is very old. Don't think we want to be so far out of the city as to be in Snohomish or Woodinville. Bothell and MLT on the radar though; SIL lives in Kirkland so being convenient to them is a plus. Cool with them in that they're irrelevant to a rental search lol. We're definitely going to rent for 9-12 months and go from there. Categorically cannot afford a SFH in Seattle or Edmonds. If we bought in Seattle it would definitely be the condo or townhouse route.
  7. Bruh put a trigger warning on this shit. Many memories.
  8. Well the position in Tacoma I mentioned before ultimately fell through but my wife has verbally accepted an offer that'll be officially based in Everett, but out in the field in Snohomish County regularly (hybrid so that would be 2-3x a week, at home for the rest). They're going through the whole reference/background check song and dance before producing the full written offer, so not quite official yet but it does look like we'll be moving up there in the next 4-6 weeks. Very excited but there's a lot to get done in the interim. Our initial inclination is to look for a place in north Seattle convenient to I-5 and rail. Greenwood, Maple Leaf, Northgate, Green Lake, Roosevelt, something like that. Any thoughts on whether that counter-commute is doable? Evidently there are some staff that live in north Seattle and say it's not bad. I definitely prefer an urban location like that but I work remotely, I'm not the one commuting. Honestly I could compromise on an inner ring suburban location like Shoreline or Mountlake Terrace as long as it's convenient to I-5 + the coming rail extension. I worry that commuting from North Seattle will suck for her despite it being a counter commute but my wife is pretty set on living in Seattle proper as a base to get to know the region better.
  9. Well damn, I guess the "bench Majors" crowd has been right all along. Would be nice to see Bryant emerge as a plus this year though. He often seems to get lost in the DL discussion despite being a third year early enrollee.
  10. Collin Simmons was just a DEI recruit taking a spot from a qualified Jett Bush type.
  11. This is ignoring the amount of people (and money) on the sidelines in the housing market because they don't like the interest rate environment. A decrease in interest rates without an economic slowdown is going to lead to an increase in home prices - and a significant one at that - because we are still structurally undersupplied.
