I noticed that about 200 people have moved from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area where I live to Seattle. I often dream of that move. I spent ten days out there sailing and backpacking one summer. Nine sunny days, and it only rained on then tenth. I'm wondering if anyone here has moved out to Seattle from somewhere similar to NC, and could tell me what their reaction was?

- Orange County, CA is pretty interesting. There is a lot of migration inwards from the East Coast/Upper Midwest (e.g. PA, MI), but lots of migration outwards throughout the country.

> Multnomah County, OR is a bunch of solid black lines from throughout the country. Everyone wants to be in Portland, but the Oregon unemployment numbers are comparable to Michigan, IIRC. Both of our recent hires moved here first, and found a job afterwards. Portland is seen as hip and comparatively inexpensive, so if you're going to be unemployed, might as well do it here.
