Home in Redmond

It's taken longer than we expected but we're finally settled. We bought a home in Redmond, WA. We were living temporarily in Bothell while waiting for our house in Arlington to close and finding the right house out here. In retrospect it was good to spend time getting familiar with the area before deciding where to live.

Given my recent job change, it seemed a bit ironic that the previous owner of our house works for IBM (Rational Software). And one of our new neighbors works for IBM as well.

Reading the Wikipedia entry on Redmond, WA I learned that the city was named after Luke McRedmond but was originally called Salmonberg. Weird but there are worse names -- we received a Christmas package a couple weeks ago addressed to our apartment in Brothell, WA.
