Eastside
Esther and I have moved to Kirkland, in to the first apartment we’ve picked together. I grew up in Kirkland, so I feel pretty familiar with it. We’re in a nice area, surrounded by trees and near a state park, and across the street from a bowling alley, a grocery store, and a few other small businesses (ok, so it’s kind of a strip mall, but the grocery store is nice!)
The awesome: The apartment has a washer and dryer inside it. No more having to hunt down quarters. The not as awesome: It is further from my work, although once I start taking the bus it won’t be so bad, especially if I can get a seat.
