Maintaining Northwest Ties
After living in Washington for my entire life, I relocated to Houston a few years ago in an effort to further my career. While the promotion has certainly improved the quality of life for my family and me, I pine for the lush landscape and inimitable atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest. Luckily, the promotion that I recently landed comes with an extra week of paid vacation, so there are ample opportunities for a reprieve from the harsh Houston climate.
Every year, we rent out a couple of Washington villas and make a pilgrimage back to my home state. This serves as an occasion for reconnecting with old friends and satiating my appetite for the Northwest lifestyle. I am particularly excited about going back this year, as we will be in town for Memorial Day and the annual at the Gorge.
