[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Michael re Seattle

[Robert Quinn]

We went through the locks between Union Lake and Lake Washington on a dinner 
cruise boat but we watched smaller boats and a few sailboats go through.  It 
did not seem to be overly challenging.

We were there for a week and the weather was about fifty/fifty - a few very 
nice days and a few damp and overcast days.  I was there back in the early 
70's for a few days in December.  I was pleasantly surprised at how mind it 
was, snow yes, but this Florida boy did fine.

Michael, I'm considering a move to Seattle myself.  Here is a web site that
will give you stats on weather and other interesting factoids:
http://www.city-data.com

The folks I know there say it's gray and rainy but usually mild during the
winter months, and nice in the summer.  The data pretty much say the same
thing.  Cost of living is supposedly 30% lower than where I am now outside
NYC.  Real estate dollar seems to go farther.

The bigger question for the list is -- Puget Sound vs. Lake Washington for
new home sailing grounds?  The trip through the canal/Lake Union/locks from
Lake Washington to the Sound looks onerous on a map -- anybody ever done
it?  Relative merits of Lake vs. Sound?

Good luck in your search.

Dave Bradley
