Now that I've lived in Seattle for 5 years. The reality of moving here proved that my ability to predict is non-existent.

1) I'm not really playing tennis now so I don't have much need for tennis partners. I have more friends in seattle than i ever did in boston after 10 years.

2) My inlaws are great. My mother in law judy has passed away but moving close was a great thing. I actually got to know both Marvin and Judy -- and while they're both crazy, I've grown to appreciate and love them.

3) yes it rains in Seattle but coming from Boston it's really just a drizzle. In addition, winters are mild and summers are a blessing.
