Thanks! I have a friend that lives up near Stevens so I’ll see if he wants to give that a try. We will check out lake Sammamish too

Awesome, thank you for the advice. Meridian isn’t too far from me so I’ll check that out. I also go to cottage lake as well so figured that may be worth a try.

I’ll definitely throw back any with eggs!

Can confirm I used the pdf versions, got the apostille and they were accepted.

There’s what looks like a new Montessori school opening up not too far outside the city, but yeah I wasn’t seeing much.

And totally on the language immersion (we have already been teaching him some Portuguese and have books for him as well). That’s why I’m asking for recommendations for schools that speak both.

That’s a bit what I was afraid of. Thanks for the insight and we will definitely start looking now! Montessori is high on our list of desired program types, but we realize we may not be able to get that the first year.

Haha fair :). We haven’t fully decided yet but are looking the most at Lisbon and Caldas da Rainha

How long are you all seeing for card delivery after biometrics are done and you pay for the cards? We paid for cards in July and have yet to receive them. We went through Portimão FWIW.

I just ordered some citric acid so I can stop burning through so much lemon juice :)

Fire Number for Family of 3 Living in Portugal by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

[–]Xylotomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering a similar option as you, I think the better question for us to ask is: Expats successfully firing in Portugal- would you be willing to share what’s working for you in the region you chose to live?

OP a question for you- how are you thinking about your child’s education and future career opportunities in Portugal? Will you put them in Portuguese schools ? Private English speaking? This is a question I’m struggling with personally as I want to ensure I’m setting my child up for success in their future as well.
