    Hi, everyone!

    My name is Cindy. I'm in the Tacoma area. Another transplant from Texas!

    I've been here almost six years. I absolutely love the beautiful scenery, and hate the weather (summers being the exception).

    Hi everyone, another from Spokane here!

    Grew up in Cheney, lived in El Paso, Houston and Austin, TX, for school and work for a decade, then back to the PNW. I work 'at home', but my business has just about outgrown the house. Looking forward to connecting with you.

    Hey everyone! I'm Sara from Seattle - grew up in Spokane (will steal someone else's line - feels like a great place to be *from*).

    I love everything about Seattle and I don't understand why everyone doesn't live here ;). Happy to meet you all!

    HEY!! **waves**
    Your token Gritty Tacoman here!! Technically a Tacoma transplant as I grew up in a tiny little town southwest of here. Rainier WA, no it's not by the mountain and no, I'm not surprised you don't know where it is. It's OK. :wink:

    I moved to Tacoma 13 years ago and I love it here. Yes, I love Tacoma more than Seattle. It's so much grittier and once you've been around for a while you realize what a small town it really is. I live in the Stadium district and enjoy runs through Wright's Park, the Waterfront, and Point Defiance on a regular basis.

    I am a newly NW Resident in the East Hill of Kent trying to figure everything out up here. We've been here almost a year and I still haven't changed my ID over. Las Vegas licenses are just too damn pretty!

    Hey! I'm from Montana. Don't know if that technically counts as the Pacific Northwest, but it's definitely not the Midwest. Maybe we're just considered the West :happy:

    What part of Montana? It's a big state. :smile:

    I have grandparents in Nye (nearish to Red Lodge) and they just consider themselves West. But I have friends in Kalispell that consider themselves part of the PacNW.

    I used to live in Missoula (2 hrs. south of Kalispell) but I just moved to Billings a few years ago (45 min. from Nye). Maybe that's where my confusion comes in!
