Im from maple valley, about 20 mins from fed way. I comunte to fed way every mon wedd and fri. its a nice place, although just like anywhere else it has its good areas and bad areas. if you are looking to go to seattle it is a really easy drive, just get on I 5 and go north.
what else do you want to know?

i don't know about that man, E.WA is usually hotter in my experience. the winter is just a lot more harsh on the east side.
Federal Way is a nice area and is relatively close to both the city and the mountains. expect lots of rain fall-spring but it would still be a great place to live. cons are that it is a very liberal side of the state (ex. tax on soda) and cities aren't really sure what to do when it snows and roads get pretty bad, so thank goodness you drive a subaru!
good luck getting your promotion man!

I'm in the Kent/Covington area. I'm a lurker here though. :-)

There's another white BD that must be in Auburn. He has black rims. I seem him everyonce in awhile and wonder if he is on this forum.

seattle vs portland, hands down seattle is better. anyone who has been there will tell you. seattle has so much more to do in an activity stand point. But not sayin portland isnt nice, they have much better train system and... well not sure what else is better lol. let me know if im wrong
