Welcome to Silverdale! That's what the sign said as we exited the freeway and turned onto Silverdale Way - the light at the end of the tunnel... a very long tunnel. It meant we were finally *almost* home.
That was two weeks ago.
Now, here I am, in my new, on-the-way-to-being-a-home, on Granite Ln NW. A quite little road on the "ridge-tops" of Silverdale. A nice family filled neighborhood of townhouses and groomed lawns. As a-million-miles away as you can get from the quintessential Seattle life, everyone thinks you will be living when you say you're moving to Washington - and I love it.
Silverdale is located in Kitsap County, on the Kitsap Peninsula, a sub-peninsula on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, due west of Seattle. They entire peninsula has about 15 towns/cities on it, all within a 20-30 minute drive from our driveway (Silverdale is conveniently located somewhere near the middle of everything).
Now that you know a little bit about where we are, I am going to spend the rest of these posts telling you about what we're doing. Current projects around our home, some interesting pieces of trivia about the area, the places we have found and would like to share. This is going to be the easiest way to keep everyone in the loop - and for me to provide some useful information to others coming into this area.
Smile.
We miss you guys here in San Diego, but can't wait to hear about all your new adventures.
