This Artsy Life: Weekends 17-19 [ SoCal to Seattle! ]

Greetings from Seattle!  I’m finally here, way tired, a bit frazzled and overwhelmed with settling in, but officially back among the blogging.  The last few weeks in the Forager universe have been a crazy mix of traveling, seeing new places, saying goodbye to old friends and hello to the new.  We clocked in well over 1300 miles, 5 nights in hotels, 6 nights with friends & family, drove through 3 states and tried over 10 Seattle apartments on for size in two days.  We’re still making our home here ( our bed, a sofa & a dresser is all we have so far in the way of furniture ), but we’re already finding some favorite neighborhood spots and our love affair with Seattle is still going strong.

While I scour Craigslist for furniture deals today, I thought you might enjoy seeing a few snapshots from our journey!

Sorry for the lack of Seattle photos this go ’round.  We ( I )’ve been so distracted with finding a home and settling in that the camera hasn’t come out much.  Not to worry.  They are coming.  Just try and stop me!  Back tomorrow with brand new artsy discoveries!

Want to see more from our SoCal to Seattle trip?  Follow Artsy on Instagram, I’ll be posting pics from our road trip over the next few days.

      Yep! We arrived on a week ago Saturday, frantically searched for an apartment and are now frantically trying to furnish it. 😉 Mr. F is on a work contract that will go through August but he’s been offered a full time permanent position here, so we’re thinking we’ll be here for the long haul!
