Oklahoma City Supersonics

I saw this billboard while waiting for the bus near the Seattle Center (where the basketball stadium is). Ouch. I am not a Sonics fan, but I'm sad to see them go. I think sports teams help make a city more of a national destination. I think it hurts Seattle a bit to lose the team. I was also excited to see how they do in the next few seasons as they have a very young and interesting team. I guess that's just the politics of it all.

1 Year Anniversary

1 year ago this week (July 6th) I arrived in Seattle, not as a tourist, but as a resident. My first year has been better than I could have ever imagined. I've had 2 roommates and lived in 2 different places so far (though they are 2 blocks from each other). I've had tons of visitors and I've been all over this crazy city. I've had a chance to do all kinds of great and new things, many of which only Seattle allows. Highlights include Santa Pub Crawl, Solstice Parade (upcoming blog), Sasquatch Summer Festival at the Gorge, Tubing in Leavenworth (twice), Urban Golf, and Marques' Halloween party.

I look forward to the next year and plan to continue to try to enjoy all this beautiful and quirky city has to offer.
