September 8, 2011, I sold my house in Missouri and moved to Whidbey Island
located NW of Seattle to setup a
temporary location until we found our new home in Poulsbo, WA.
It has friendlier weather and beautiful vistas everywhere.
..
A good friend Larry, with his wife's help, moved my wife and me in a long 4 day trip.
We started our 2,125 mile trip in SW Missouri and made it to Lincoln NE the first day.
I followed in my yellow Ranger pickup loaded with the lawn mower, my wife and our cat.
..
The second day was to Rawlins, WY.  Not much there or anywhere until the Seattle Cascade mountains!

We did finally see some interesting terrain once we got into Ogden UT area, but it was brief.

Feeling much better after a restop.

Oregon was surprisingly desolate too!
Our 3rd day we stayed out longer and got to Baker City, OR.

Finally, we crossed the Columbia River into Washington the last day, then to Seattle, and up onto Whidbey Island, WA.

Whidbey Island, WA as well as, Fidalgo Island have been in the top 5 places to retire
in the US for the last several years now.  I'm not lucky enough to retire yet,
but hey, why not go for at least a taste!
Both above and below pics were taken from our back porch.

The northern Puget Sound area has beautiful weather,
rarely has snow, or ice and rarely gets below 30 degrees in the winter.
It has zone 8 weather, same as the southern coastal states but without the heat.
No tornados; No Hurricanes; No ice storms; No bugs;
Summers are a moderate 70+ degrees making it a great place to live.
Because it is located in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mtns. we only get 20-30" of rainfall a year
(most areas in the midwest will get 40-45" of rain avg. a year).

My wife and I came here for the first time in 2005 and I just absolutely loved it.
I wanted to move here right then.  We came back in 2008, also in 2010 and again in early 2011.
We loved it here and made plans to move.   Here are some shots of our trips
from 2005 on up...maybe you can tell why we moved here.

Road Race Replicas only shut down for 1 week during travel time out here
and was up selling, making parts and shipping the very next week.
All cabinets, inventory, shelves were simply wrapped in palette wrap (like large Saran-wrap)
and loaded onto the truck.   After unloading, we simply
cut the wrapping and were ready to go again.
We rented in Coupeville for 4 months as a temporary location until
we moved to our NEW permanent home in Poulsbo WA.

Poulsbo is a charming Norwegian fishing village located on the
northern Kitsap penninsula just 10 minutes from the downtown Seattle ferry
and located along the Hood Canal backed by the Olympic Mountains.
Our new address is:
1770 NW LUTES Rd.
POULSBO, WA  98370

I just took this shot in Pt. Townsend waiting for the ferry.
