It's been a while since I have posted, but I too find myself in a similar situation. I will be moving to Vancouver, WA. I just got back from a visit and liked it enough to plan a move from Atlanta (primarily for a job, but the visit to the Alibi was also quite convincing!)

I am a bit reserved since I am moving to start my career. It's a massive undertaking especially since it's my first "real" job out of college. However, after visiting Vancouver and taking the short ride over to Portland, I don't feel so bad, especially since there are so many TC'ers already established there. I will definately miss the Atlanta Trader Vic's, but I guess the Alibi and the Jasmine Tree will help fulfill my tiki fix. :)

I have decided to live in Vancouver because that's where the business is and also (correct me if I'm wrong) there is no state tax. From what I gather folks that live in Vancouver do the bulk of their shopping in Portland since there is no sales tax. It seems like the best of boths worlds to me!

I will be arriving in Vancouver on March 4th. My fiance will not be out until the end of April, so I will have tons of free time. It would be nice to meet some of the NW tiki folks and gain some insider info on the two cities. I can't wait to go!!
