It was a tough decision. After strongly Considering a Return to Columbus, I’ve decided to stay in Seattle. I’ll be moving from the Eastside suburb of Bellevue into the Queen Anne district of Seattle. Below is a photo taken from Kerry Park, which is a mere 0.3 miles away from my new apartment. My lease starts on Monday.

If I ever come to the conclusion I made the wrong choice, I will return to Columbus. But for now, Seattle is my home.

It’s hard to articulate what I love about Seattle, but this picture pretty much encapsulates it all. Days like today make the long, gray winters worth every minute.
