Hey man yeah we do stuff from time to time, hit up rent.com for a place, do you know where you will be working/living specifically? also hit up www.wwscc.org for autox and evergreenraceway.com for drifting events also PIR in portland,oregon, not tooo bad of a drive from Seattle for some great drift events. Other than that you just gotta dig and explore I would be happy to help another Z brother anytime

p.s. I hate moving...

 

omg the 666 post gotta do one more, check out SIR I don't know what its called anymore but its between Seattle and Tacoma, its a drag/lapping course that holds events every weekend locally. Lots of SCCA here too.

Sweet! You in IDS sector or Commercial Airplanes?

As for places to live, it really depends where you are... Everett, Seattle, Renton?

 

There are plenty of great places, unfortunately they aren't right next to boeing so you will have to commute. I would suggest Mukilteo if you don't want to be driven insane by traffic.

 

ya IDS.....

^ Have you accepted the job yet or are you still considering it? Where in IDS and what position, if I may ask?

 

you'll be in good company...lots of Boeing ppl w/ 350Z, and Boeing has it's own autoX club!

 

Yessssss... I've heard of said club. You've piqed my curiousity. Can you tell me more about it? What is the URL for the website?

 

http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/WA-Seattle.html
http://seattle.apartments.com/
http://www.seattlerentals.com/

 

ehhh.... seeing how Drivesolo introduced me to the club ...he should know it's www.beac-online.org (BEAC - Boeing employee's autoX club).

 

^ yep, the autosports club. We mainly do autoX because we have the privilage of using Boeing's huge parking lots. But we also have other members that do various types of road racing, dirt track and 1/4 mile stuff too.

 

as far as where exactly i dont know what site? im looking online and seeing sites in renton, seattle and everett? once i know i guess i can find an apartment or rental place easier....

ive been looking online and looking for a rental place that would have a garage?? how much would something like that run up there???

If you're gonna be working for IDS you will most likely be working in Kent or Seattle Field. Very little IDS work goes on in Renton or Everett, those locations are primarily commercial aircraft (some P8 stuff and some 767 tanker stuff).

 

what about 787 stuff? where is that primarily??

also, for the northwest? what is the going average price for a rental place with a garage??

coming from tx i need a garage for my working on my car and building things!! LOL...

- j

 

$14,000 a month j/k


I had a brand new 3 bedroom with a garage in Renton way back like 7 years ago for 1,200 a month. I think it was something like 1,400 sq ft. if I remember right.

 

Better find out where you'll be working and what you'll be willing to put up w/ as far as a commute. Prices will vary considerably depending on where you live around here. A rental in Seattle will cost considerably more than a rental in Auburn assuming that they of equal quality.
