Time for the next stage in the big adventure that is life. It's been great here in Corvallis, and I was planning to move back to Portland this summer once my younger son graduated from high school. But with his decision to go to college in Seattle (pending their acceptance of his offer to attend) and my dad being in Port Townsend, and — this is no small point — the abundance of jobs and money; I've decided that Seattle is a better place to go at this time.

And I mean at this time. I plan to move by the end of the month. It's kind of sudden, and it's caught a number of people by surprise. Starting with me. But it seems like the righ thing to do. An improved professional environment (i.e., more potential clients) will help me in many ways. So I am in the process of getting ready to move to Seattle.

What will this mean to my loyal BTC clients? Not a lot. There are many of you I've never met in person, so this is no change. In fact, I hope it's an improvement. I'll have access to technical and artistic resources there that have not been available here. I'm excited about this move, and I know it will only mean good things for the BTC community of friends and clients.
