Scaling It Back: The Last Days In Renton

Scaling It Back: Issue 2
It’s been six weeks since we scaled it back and temporarily moved to Renton. Even the stuffed animals have contracted cabin fever. Somehow, amazingly, we have not been asked to leave the apartment (yet). No cops have been called and no one has angrily pounded on any of our walls, ceiling, or floor.

Final Thoughts From Renton
Kaitlyn and Alyssa share some thoughts about moving into the new house.

Mr. Sean Goes To Washington

Gosh, kind of a lot's happened! Since my last email digest, I've sold, bought, and shipped a house! I've driven over 2500 miles and spent the equivalent of four days in a car with a toddler and a dog. Now I live (temporarily) in Renton, Washington, anxiously awaiting the completion and close of escrow on the new TRS headquarters. I've tried to keep the web site and the Facebook page up to date, but in case you've missed anything, here's a recap of how we got here and a run down on activity in the last 30 days or so.

First, you can refresh yourself on the what, why, and where of this relocation by reading my official announcement here. It's in three parts because this change is one that actually began way back in 1994, so you get the back story at no extra charge. 

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page has been updated to reflect new information as it becomes available. If you read it before, you might want to check it out again.

There is also now a Speed Bump Edition of the Frequently Asked Questions. Both FAQ's are linked to each other for your convenience. Updates will continue until the information stops changing. 


After my first week at the new job, I traveled to Puerto Rico for an industry conference. I captured my thoughts on that in "The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico."

If you aren't aware, I have begun posting a weekly "Where Are The Road Scholars" photo challenge on the Facebook page. New photos go up every Sunday.
 
Lastly, there is the TRS Facebook Page, my Twitter account, and the TRS Google+ Page. In addition to frequent updates and pictures, I will syndicate updates to the FAQ on those channels.
