Hi, I life in Bellingham Washington and I am trying to start a car club. I have some guys (about 15) but I am the only Scooby. If anyone living close to the Bellingham area wants to come out and see what’s up we meet every Sat at the Sherries restaurant on the guide at 10:30pm. (By the mall). I would love to anyone come out weather you have a Scooby or not, its the company that counts.

Feel free to e-mail me at performance_ave@yahoo.com or call me at (360) 303-1464.

I hope to hear from you.

10:30pm? :(
That's pretty close to my bedtime. ;)
Some of us aren't as young as we used to be anymore.

There's a half-dozen local subaru guys who get together every couple of weeks or so for dinner, usually wednesday or thursday at about 6:30-7ish.

Well if you will have me I'd like to go some time. Let me know.

Thanx

Johann

This is mostly OT, but while we're talking about Bellingham... ;-)

Any suggestions as to where to look for jobs up that way? Particularly computer geek jobs, or anything interesting.

I'm contemplating a move up to Bellingham and am quickly realizing that the Herald is _not_ the way to find a job. Not that the paper ever is...

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Heh.

Job?

Up here?

A buddy of mine used to work for DSHS up here somewhere, perhaps you could try a state agency.

Or go door-to-door.

Heh... Door to door is one thing I'm considering. After corporate burnout, I'm contemplating freelance consulting, and I'd go door to door trying to drum up business with small companies.

A buddy of mine did well with a similar gig up there, but that was when the economy was a little better.

I don't think I'd consider a government job job, unless it was with the school. But... Everyone I know who's passed through WWU says they hire almost no 'professionals' and rely on easily exploitable student labor. Not that I minded being exploited when I was a student. ;)

Whatever the case, my logic so far is... If I'm gonna be poor and unemployed, might as well do it in a nice place.

Hey, my husband is putting in for a transfer to the Blaine/Lynden area. My family lives around the Gig Harbor and eventhough it is about 4 hours away, it is still closer than San Diego. I am hoping he gets the transfer obviously, so maybe we will see you around! How is the weather?

How is the weather?

Well, let's see. First it was cool and cloudy. Then it sprinkled rain. Then it cleared up and was sunny and warm. A good 15 degree temp swing. Gotta Love the WA weather!

Gig Harbor? 4 hours away?
If you don't hit rush hour traffic Portland is about 4 hours from Bellingham. Seriously. Olympia is just over 2 hours.

The weather lately has been a bit hot for my taste - but I've got a darker tan than my dad's employees (and they pay to tan).

I guess the speed limits have gone up since I lived in Washington last!!

So, are there any particular areas north of Bellingham that are better than others as far as weather and school systems (we have a 10 month old so plenty of time to worry about that)? I am really hoping we transfer up there, so I have been looking for houses on realtor.com, hopefully I haven't jinx'd (?) our chances already!!

I am in Everett, and Bellingham is not that far for me, but if ya all up North were to group up on saturdays around 6-7 pm I would come up to shoot the gab. Oh yeah I am 42 and single, anyone know of a great gal to set me up with? LOL.. her age Hm between 32 and 45. hey I gotta try.

Babyrex - Bellingham to the WA border (portland/vancouver) is ~255 miles, with a healthy chunk of that at 70mph. Even at 60 that's just over 4 hours. :) Olympia to B'ham is about 150 miles (depending on where in Oly you go), which is about 2:20 at the speed limit.

And as far as the area goes... your guess is as good as mine.
