Hey gents,

What companies are in the NW? Specifically Washington state, Engineering type work.......

[deez]

Boeing, Microsoft, Nintendo, are all in the Seattle area. CC don't you do circuit work? If so I know of a really good company in Denver that is hiring, I'm tempted to apply and move there, I know some people that work at the company. Just FYI, the Northwest is expensive and it rains too frikkin much!

We are? Which site are you working at, pdx? I'm up here at Dupont, and we were able to shoehorn in a few people (battle royale, and we're still down on headcount) before corporate froze us again.

On a side note, the Portland area is chock full of high tech, engineering heavy companies other than Intel, mostly in the Hillsboro area (aka Silicon Forest). What's your specialty?

Is it still "not as full as it was?" Recently there were alot of empty offices out around 158th & Walker, Cornell Rd., etc. I know that's not Hillsboro, by the bye, but am just wondering if Silicone Forest is recovering at all from the decimation that took place after 01-2000.

I just moved up here (Seattle/Redmond) about a year ago and really don't like it. Very expensive, rains at least 6 days a week (no kidding) and it's crowded.

I wouldn't recommend moving here. I moved from Portland, OR and it wasn't much better weather-wise, but if I had to choose between the two I'd take Portland over this hell hole. Although Portland's economy is still in the gutter... It was hit especially hard by the .com burst.

Chrome Dome, you and I share the same opinion of Seattle
I'm heading to Denver or the SouthEast next I think. Real Estate is almost double than what I'm used to (Dallas, TX) and it's not worth it when it rains the majority of the time. I'd like to go to Atlanta or RTP in North Carolina, good riding, cheap gas/real estate and direct flights to Europe

Yeah, I'm going to get the hell outta here as soon as I can afford to. Arizona (Chandler/Mesa area) is at the top of my list.

Insurance in that state is fookin nutz man. I've looked too Tortilla flats is where all the twisties are, about 45 minutes North. Real Estate is at a decent price, much cheaper than here, I just don't like the jacking they do on insurance

Motorcycle insurance or insurance in general? I don't ride on the street any more so it might not matter. I just want to ride on the track year round. This 2-3 months a year bullshite is not working

In General. My buddy lives in Tucson and says insurance isn't regulated in that state, that could be costly. + job ops aren't abundant, Phoenix area needs some more high tech companies. I would very much like to live there as well, it's really nice and I don't mind the heat, the sun shines year round man, and the winters are frikkin' awesome!
