New guy here from Seattle area
Hi. New here, but have been lurking for a few weeks.
Thought I'd do a quick intro. My first post is here from just a few minutes ago:
http://smith-wessonforum.com/attachm...4&d=1392502786
Is there a decent PNW or Seattle area group represented here?
A little about me: I work in the computer\software industry as a QA guy (Healthcare.gov disaster makes me SICK...). I'm a husband to a beautiful wife now for 17 years. We have 8 kids, 5 of which were adopted through foster care. I live our in the 'burbs and just outside of the town of Monroe. We have a little 'hobby farm' where I have a garden and raise chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and a few hogs each year (sell them by the 1/2 hog). I'm a avid fisherman, mainly fly fishing for salmon, trout, steelhead -but love any sort of fishing and taking the kids out. I have also gotten into hunting more lately. So far deer and ducks, with a little grouse, coyote, and other stuff mixed in. Took a 4x4 mule deer in Idaho with the help of my cousin my first year, and MUCH heavier 4x4 mule deer on my own (with one of my boys along) in the north central part of WA. I really LOVE these higher altitude hunts and beauty of the mountains in the PNW.
Anyway, thanks for reading and hope to stick around a bit.
Thanks!

Welcome from Wisconsin! I don't know how many from Seattle & the PNW are on here but I think I've seen at least a few.

Greetings from Seaside! There're actually quite a few guys from the Seattle area, and a bunch of us from the NW in general.
We moved back to Seaside from Seattle eight years ago. I've travelled through it my entire life, and we still visit on a regular basis. I think it's a great place, I just didn't want to live there anymore.
If you've been to the forum at NWfirearms, you'll probably find this one to be much more civil, and much more intelligent. And highly entertaining!

Not familiar with NWFirearms. But have spent a little time at Seattleguns and Hunting-Washington as well as Gamefishin and WashingtonFlyfishing over the years.
