And the exodus begins?
The first of my friends from out here is starting to move away - heading to a new company (gasp!) and moving to Chicago area. The interesting thing to think is that the vast majority of my friends out here are not from the Seattle area and have mentioned at one point or another that they aren't necessarily out here for the long haul - how seriously they meant it may be something else entirely. Inertia is a powerful force! Now the question is whether it will be a slow trickle or if this will suddenly make people think about their plans and start a stampede...
