I would love to know what's happened, though. Maybe he and his wife figured a way out, maybe not.

More like a 16-hit wonder. By now, he's either on his way, has arrived, or called it off, and decided to look around in his region, as others wisely suggested.

Well, I'm betting he's made different plans, instead of coming to Seattle on that "wing and a prayer."

I truly wish him and his loved ones health and happiness, but he was risking way too much in coming out to Seattle. And with the odds of 90% or greater, being homeless within days of stepping foot here.

I feel that he took our concerns as personal attacks, but most, if not all here expressed a level of overall concern for him, his safety and health. I'm sorry to say this, but the "West Coast" dream is nothing but a dream, but people still think it possible... Which it is, if you have the means; a good paying/steady full-time Job and a healthly cash reserve.

Again, I do wish him luck since there is nothing, IMHO, worse than being homeless AND getting stuck in that rut for the rest of your life.

He said people told him "the people are great!". I don't find that believable. I hope he was able to improve his situation somewhere, regionally, in the upper Midwest, there.

This sure feels like a long-con troll.
