    This is great. We have a lot of similar chapters. I did 4 years in NYC (Midtown) and moved back to SEA as well. A whole life squeezed into two suitcases and two home depot boxes for the long flight overseas. Was also chasing the 30 Under 30 accolade, but ultimately did not follow through. And in retrospect, a good idea to choose the more low key route instead of notoriety and fame. Still missing nyc for next-day amazon deliveries, the day to day, and my floor to ceiling windows. Maybe one day will return.
