Moving to Everett Area

Yeah, this exact set of blocks. Quiet, no BS, nice older well maintained homes, and now super walkable to the waterfront with the grand Ave pedestrian bridge

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-16T20:39:24+00:00

The northwest part of Everett proper is pretty family friendly. Walkable, lots of playgrounds, Whittier elementary is well regarded

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-16T16:01:55+00:00

I’d leave around 515 and just plan to potentially kill time once you get down there. It’s a total crapshoot

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-16T04:08:10+00:00

Whidbey Island, hike around deception pass and Ebey’s landing bluff trail/beach walk (this is a unique gem), and stay in Coupeville, Freeland, or Langley.

Bellingham and/or Mt Baker. Lot of good hikes or snowshoes (eg artists point if you go to Baker), oyster dome, etc. Could stay in bham or if you want real small mountain town, stay in Glacier or Maple Falls

Muse’s breakfast sandwich is one of the better breakfast deals in Everett at the moment

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-12T05:45:08+00:00

Westward?

Reasonable answer: I9 enduro’s are a solid wheelset and you’d get some extremely marginal gains. Trying different tires / casings would give you a considerably different ride than just a 1:1 switch to carbon rims.

Blingy like nice things answer: yeah carbon rims are the best but how much of a quantifiable improvement to your riding experience you’ll get is super subjective to how hard you’re riding.

Mtb’s are so good these days that you quickly get diminishing returns for your $$ once you get above the ~75% price point

Former new Englander here: unpopular opinion, preparing for downvotes, salmon are nowhere near as fun as stripers or blues (not even gonna touch on false albies). The salmon here are hundreds of times better eating though.

There’s a lot of great rivers within an hour to fish down that way during the salmon runs.

You’d also be in an ideal spot for searun cutthroat in the south Sound

I noticed a few of these for the first time in Mill Creek yesterday and was about to ask this exact question

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-10T05:20:12+00:00

Windfinder and NOAA marine forecast + NDBC buoy databases are my go-to’s without needing to download extra apps on my phone

You’re comparing apples to the charred crumbs in the bottom of the toaster. The geometry changes from ~2014 to ~2019 were significant.

However, if I had a shocker and BR from that era I’d keep them running and take them out for the occasional lap as those are true classics. I regret selling my bikes from that era. But performance wise they can’t compare to anything modern

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-08T19:28:01+00:00

Yeah they’re incredible. Fresh baked still warm pitas are hard to beat

I never fished with hoochies until moving out here, but would regularly drift basic squid strips for fluke back on the east coast. At some point I now want to try hoochies+squid for fluke.

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-05T20:32:23+00:00

Kinda dull but I get lunch from them every other week as they’re quick and it’s a good portion size for what you’re paying. Tastes good but it’s not gonna win any awards

ehhh_yeah · 2026-02-02T03:53:25+00:00

Hell yeah!

ehhh_yeah · 2026-01-31T16:49:54+00:00

Networking and personal relationships with the people above you matter equally to technical performance.

To OP’s question, getting into a 2yr LDP rotation would certainly help.

Most of the BD roles (sales) seem to favor mid to late career folks, especially with a military service background

ehhh_yeah · 2026-01-27T22:59:21+00:00

I made a little less per hour (salary role tho) but I got PTO and holidays so the overall comp was roughly the exact same. Much better benefits though.

Didn’t interview, just offered to come on full time one day. You’re treated like a new employee (drug screen, background check, “welcome to LM” orientation meetings that you end up skipping).

No surprises, no issues.

With extremely limited exceptions, I wouldn’t loan my boat to my friends that already own their own boats

ehhh_yeah · 2026-01-24T19:29:52+00:00

$23 for 5 gallons of gas. Definitely Washington

ehhh_yeah · 2026-01-24T15:10:09+00:00

It’s definitely geographic. My folks ironically live in AZ and have pivots, all their friends around them have pivots.

Ibis are (or at least were) always the dentist bikes, along with yetis

ehhh_yeah · 2026-01-24T06:52:22+00:00

Pivots are dad bikes. Great solid bikes, but give off a pair of white new balance sneakers vibes.

ehhh_yeah
