Default New Goat in the NW

What's up NW members, I'm Adam. I'm moving up from San Diego to the north Seattle area in a few weeks and am looking forward to it! I hope to get to some good events and meets.

Welcome to the area!

Will be interesting to hear how you think the traffic compares to San Diego. Especially with all the construction going on.

Caught a blurb on the news last night that Seattle's population grew 2.8% last year, more than any of the other 50 most populous cities

Thanks! Yeah, I'm navy if it wasn't obvious. I've driven up there a couple times. I just find it crazy that people consistently stay right at the speed limit. I'm used to the normal 80+ in a 65.

I'm looking to do heads and intake as well as a fresh paint job when I get up there. You guys will have to point me to some good shops.

The speed limit thing is just annoying. I heard that if you pass a prius on the highway an environmentalist will get a headache. I pass them on the shoulder if needed.

Welcome to the land of hippies and tree huggers. I swear its getting worse every year.

Thanks! That's the only crappy thing about moving to Cali, if you drive normal, you're gonna get rear ended in the slow lane. Actually happend to me! Got rear ended by a motorcycle. As far as the hippies go, I leave them alone if they leave me alone. To each his own.

"North Seattle"? Do you mean Everett?

Mount Vernon to be exact. From what I can tell, quite a bit north of the main car scene up there. I'm working on Whidbey Island and my girl is working at Everett, so we went with the half-way point.

I moved to Everett from California as well. Driving here irritates the hell out of me.
