A potential job interview or an interview for a potential job?

 

That is a long way to travel for an interview that may or may not happen.

 

I had a phone interview that went well and I'm waiting to see if they are flying me up there for the in-person.  They we're clear they have a couple local candidates they are considering first to avoid paying the relocation costs.  At least they're being honest.

She's from NC. We were really close to some Catholic college

 

I'm confused. You said shes from NC but you originally said you met a chick there and had a weekend. The chick you met in WA was originally from NC? And are you sure it wasn't a Mormon college?

 

 

And to the OP it's a nice area, the people can be standoffish though, no fireworks on the 4th, the left lane of I-5 all par for the course. Then again there is legal weed.

Could have been. Initials AT and she has a beagle?

I used to live in Olympia, WA. The rain is definitely exaggerated (unless by "way more rain" you mean average 6 inches more per year than Austin). However, the grey, cloud covered sky is the real deal and it does mess with your mood horribly. However, when the skies are clear, I'm convinced that particular area is the most beautiful place on the planet.

If you're the outdoors type, Seattle will be great for you. It is literally surrounded by National Parks and the wilderness is so close it will blow your mind. There's just something very appealing to me about deciding if I want to spend a July afternoon at the beach 10 minutes away or go to Mt. Rainier an hour away to play in the snow. 

 

The bad: As someone else mentioned, traffic can (and will) turn you into a homicidal maniac. Seattle is sandwiched between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington so all those commuters do not have very many alternate routes. If you like large lawns, then you will be disappointed there. When I said the wilderness is close... it might be too close for some http://www.grahamlawyerblog.com/2009/09/07/mountain-lion-visits-urban-seattle-park/

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
