My Mom is leaving N.J. for Seattle!!! :^( [More:]The story in a nutshell..She's never lived outside of New Jersey. She ran in to a man she went to high school with at their reunion three years ago. They were previously just aquaintences. A small group kept in touch and had a mini reunion a year later. He takes gorgeous landscape photos as a hobby and makes his own calendars which he brought with him. He didn't have enough, so when he got home he sent my mom one. She wrote to thank him. (Snail mail-he's not online although he does use his computer for work). He wrote back. And so on. What started as two or three letters a month turned in to two or three a week. He came out here for Christmas and met us; she went out there and met his kids/grandkids. Today was her last night in Jersey. We went out for dinner for that and my upcoming birthday. She's my best friend and I'm going to miss her but what a great adventure she's having!! So, Seattle MeChas, anyone know the town of Bothell? Maybe next year, we'll come for a visit!
Bothell is just north of Seattle, about 10 minutes - I drive through it every day to go to work. It's not very exciting in and of itself but it's not terrible by any means.

It's pronounced BOTH-ll where the BOTH rhymes with GOTH.

Yeah, what I have seen of Bothell is completely bland -- As Puget Sound neighborhoods go. I would rather live in Bothell than most other places in the US.

Bothell would be better than Federal Way, though. . .

They're starting on the journey of driving back today, with sightseeing stops in their itinerary. She shipped what she's taking (not much) he flew out here on Saturday, and they're driving her car back. I'm looking forward to visiting her next summer, and hopefully meeting some of you!

Bothell is pretty meh, but nice-meh as opposed to Fife or Kent which are ick-meh. Definitely keep the light on for her, though. Plenty of Bunnies in Seattle!
