its gonna be in Everett.

where do you guys suggest me look up for living around there...?

Also, how far is that from UofWashington?

and, are their any other universities near there???

^ Are you going to be working on the 767 Tanker or the 787?

The UW is about 25 miles south of Everett in Seattle. Lots of other universities and colleges around, looking to do a graduates? There are programs in Boeing that will pay for them entirely (tuition and books). I'd recommend waiting until you get settled at Boeing first and then take advantage of those programs.

 

im already a boeing employee....im sure im gonna do this move...and when i do my wife will start her masters.....

im about to be done with my masters here in tx..

it will be 787 more than likely.....

nice - I work in Everett, and that's where BEAC does their autoX events. Some possible areas to consider:

-Mill Creek (5-10 miles away)
-Kirkland (furhter down on the East side I-405 area, but a closer split between Everett and UW)
-Northgate area (south of Everett on I-5...lots closer to UW)

there's lots of housing aroud Everett...the price will just depend on how nice it is; there's some very sketchy areas, and very nice. It'll also depend on how far of a commute you and your wife want. (I'm currently living in the Bellevue area...w/ traffic, my commute can go from 40min to 1.5-2hrs )

 

Working in Everett and wife is going to school at UW? You would want to look in the Shoreline, Edmonds, Mount Lake Terrace, Lynnwood area. The reverese commute to everett is not bad, and the commute to UW wouldn't be very far, although the traffic is HORRID.

 

thanks so much guys....believe me ive been on the phone with tons of people looking for places and your info has come big time in handy....

im finding that most living arraingements are either apartments or condo style homes....with families on the first floor and complete other home on the 2nd floor and stuff.....

quite different than tx for sure....

i just mainly want a garage! --- i love to work on my car and build things in general...

Hi Jason,

Your DIY on the XBOX install really helped me out thanks man. I hope to meet you when you get up here.

okay, next questions??

1. ANYBODY have a garage space out there for rent?
2. What about renting a hanger space to work on cars?? about 4 guys, with 4 cars and have a location to work on your cars for events??

let me know,
jason

 

Everett has paine field...haven't heard of anyone renting out one of those hangars for use as a car garage. I'll ask around and see what I come up with. If you plan to autoX, the WWSCC series usually runs in Everett, so it'd be just across the freeway.


...just checked w/ a friend that's a pilot - Paine field's hangar's are completley full and require a waiting period to get one + you have to have a plane # to get on the waiting list. He said Renton airport is probably worse than Paine...

good luck!

 

boo.... ya im looking on their web site at their L-hangers and T-hangers.....

Renting a garage space w/ friends that all share a serious passion for cars is the way a lot of tuner shops started out. First it starts as a group of friends needing a place to get stuff done to their cars; then it develops into a money making venture.

 

i just want to wrk on my car....so far i found this place vlose to work: www.avaloncommunities.com

 

hi guys,

your best bet is Shoreline/Edmonds/Northgate area... its close enough to UW and only 25min to Everett, and 10min to downtown (non rush hr)...

stay away from Greenlake area cuz the traffic sucks there...

 

HEY, any of you guys mountain bike?

Im looking for a bike shop that rents mountain bikes for the time being that im up here?
