So long New York!

It has been a little over one year since we first landed in New York and now we are off to Seattle! Anthony is going to open an office for his company, YRG Sustainability (http://yrgconsultants.com/). Early on there was talk about opening an office in Singapore, Hong Kong or Shanghai but first things first. Seattle will give them better proximity to the Asian market while allowing them to take advantage of all of the demand in the Pacific Northwest.
I sold the building in Portland, sold my business in Brooklyn and am working on expanding Sassafras Green Building Development and Consulting. In addition to working on my own development projects, I am consulting to the private and public sector on strategic visioning and implementation of sustainability projects and programs.
So back we go! To the amazingly beautiful clean, green and serene Pacific Northwest. We will be living on Vashon Island in a lovely mid century modern home with fantastic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. We are looking forward to kayaking, hiking, camping and sailing our way through the San Juan Islands, Olympic Peninsula and Cascade Range. And of course, hosting friends and family in our cozy new home.
We have a couple of more weeks here in New York so we are trying to see and do as much as we can before we go. Check back for running commentary and photos!
