dglvrk2, Yes, Tacoma has really cleaned up and become a nice city over the years.

My employer has major offices in Minneapolis and Denver, FWIW.

Come to Minnesota! I promise you will survive the winters.

I'll chime in that I really liked Minneapolis on a visit. It seemed very nice and safe. I walked 3 blocks to yoga every morning at 6:30 am and felt perfectly safe. A lot of foot traffic and people. I spent most of my time downtown. There was this place called Brits, a pub, restaurant, that I would really like to find my way back. And the best sandwich I've ever had in my life was some vegan place. I'm not vegan.

It was August, however.

Maybe I need to look into moving to some of these places.

Last night I drove 3 hours to the coast, walked on the beach, and hot up before my kids and parents to watch the dolphins. Florida why do you do this to me? You make it so hard to leave.

It is a very walkable city, at least the parts I’ve been to. I’ve also only been in spring and summer. My boss has never asked me to visit in winter because I won’t have a proper heavy coat, lol. I told him I could buy one ….

callmekd, I just got my travel schedule to visit the twin cities office for a week in late august and a week in mid-December. So! I’ll have time to do some exploring.

Also I’m gonna need a new coat.

I'm excited for you! I lived in the twin cities area for a year and have family scattered throughout Minnesota/Iowa. You're visiting at two times that will give you good perspective. Late summer/early fall in the Midwest is amazing, IMO. Winter is real, but many people make it work their entire life.

Minneapolis/St Paul are really great cities. Also, one of my cousins who lives there travels a lot for work. She comments about the ease of getting in/out of the area, all the direct flights to US and international cities etc.

You must try to get to the state fair!! It runs 8/25-9/4.
December can be perfect winter weather - in a good way
Happy to lend you a coat 😉
