Hi,

My wife and I love the pacific northwest and are now toying with the idea of relocating to Seattle. I'm 48 and a BS level analytical chemist (mostly mass spectrometry and FTIR...industrial) while my wife is 40 and has a BS in Chemical Engineering and a MS in material science. She has quite a bit of technical management experience in product delivery and the last 5 years or so has been on the business side of things involved in finance and now procurement. We both work at the same fortune 500 company in upstate NY and have been there most of our careers. Times they are a changing however, and my job in particular looks like it's days could be numbered. My sense is that my wife could probably find a good job in Seattle pretty quickly but I'm a bit more skeptical about my own chances. My lack of pharma experience in particular seems like it would be a problem. Boeing is the obvious Seattle corollary for my current job but it does not seem like there are tremendous numbers of analytical jobs at Boeing. If anybody is familiar with the Seattle market for non-computer related engineering and science jobs in general (and analytical chemistry jobs in particular) any comments would be appreciated. Indeed and other jobs sites do not seem particularly encouraging.

THX...
