This is when I'm moving to Seattle, ok?
On October 18, I’ll be hitting the road, heading west with Smartz on our move to Seattle, Washington. What a great time of year to move to the Sunshine City! Rain and clouds for the next five months! But this is how it’s worked out, so who am I to complain?
For the first night, we’ll be heading down to Rati and Dwija’s and spending a day with them at New Vrndavana. Then, we’ll take four or so days to cross the country, bringing us to Seattle around October 24ish. Give or take a few days.
And that’s about it. I’ve got a bunch to do before I leave and there are a bunch of people I’d like to see as well. If you want to hang out prior to my leavings, let me know, ok?
It’s finally time and I’m all sorts of nervous and excited. When I get to Seattle, I really have no idea what I’ll be doing. I hope to meet up with some devotees and scooters (wouldn’t it be neat if I’d be able to meet up with some devotee scooterists in Seattle?). In Seattle, I know that the devotees run a free cafe called My Sweet Lord. They have Gita classes there on Thursdays. I plan to show up.
I’ll be honest, I’m a little leery on the temple scene in Seattle, but I’m also willing to give that a try without prejudice.
I’m sure I’ll be talking moving stuff quite a bit from now till then, but since just today we figured out a schedule, I thought I’d let everyone who cares to know be in the know. Any questions or comments? Just ask!

haribol, eric.
This is Karunamayi, I live in Vancouver, bc and we do spend some time in Seattle with the devotees there. Really, the temple devotees are very sweet. South Indian, mostly, with lots of love, culture and bhakti. I would say it leans more towards the conservative side if you are used to Burning Man and Balaram chandra prabhus programs. Both are ecstatic, different flavours and dedicated to Srila Prabhupada.
just to let you know, we’ve had a grand time every time we’ve gone down.
hari!

Well, it won’t be for a whole week, but I’m going to try for a few days. Things are getting tight!

Haribol! That’s good to know. I’m hoping to find a nice devotee community (temple or not). Hopefully Seattle/Portland will provide that. Great to hear from you again!

This sounds promising…
I’m sure I’ll be in touch once I get out there. Haribol!
