Sometime after the admission that the economy was in trouble, I couldn't help but notice how everything started coming with the qualifier "In this…" especially when talking about the current economic state. It suddenly became such that we could not consider the future and only could speak of the current instance, situation, predicament, etc…that we are in. This became the theme for this blog. It was simple enough to just blog about whatever was current in the relative instance, situation, predicament.
In this economy, we are stuck where we are and planning for the future seems to be an unaffordable luxury. The Pacific Northwest seems to lag when it comes to the economic trends in the rest of t
he nation, so it should be no surprise that we too have joined the hard times being seen other places. The hope for the Seattle area is that we don't fall as deep as other places.
While it is fine to write about Seattle coffee, art, food and obnoxious personalities: it couldn't hurt to at least acknowledge that there are former employees from Boeing, Microsoft, Washington Mutual, Starbucks, etc… While we may have a lesser downturn (so far) that means little if you are one of the fore mentioned citizens now looking for work. So, in this blog, the posts labeled "In This Economy" will hopefully have something to look forward to the future for someone. And if you have something to add that will help someone "in this economy" leave a comment or email for them.
The snow from last night is melting fast!

LOVE LOVE this blog! "In this Economy" is so true! Hadn't thought of it that way. Well I hate for this to sound like an entirely shameless plug - but in this economy, we are actually giving away a free $150 happy hour to 1 winner a week: http://www.gotime.com/fanfare/details - I think that's an awesome deal right? Anwyay, I can't go, but if you win, we could enjoy together!! In this city... of Seattle :).
