How's it going guys? I'm planning on moving to Seattle in the next month or two. The gf got relocated for her job and since you can be a mechanic basically anywhere I've decided to follow her north. I've visited and love the place, just lived in Humboldt for like 3 years so the "gloomy" weather doesn't bother me lol. I'm also stoked to get out of this oppressive ass state of Cali, where diesel guys can chuff more smoke than a reggae concert and that's legal yet I can get royally screwed for having an RB in my car .

So in the interest of keeping it short I'll move onto the questions:

1) I've already gotten the lowdown on emissions testing and apparently since my car is 25+ yo I don't have smog? Correct?

2) Where the meets at? Are there weekly car meets at _____ location? Are they worth going to or just a bunch of ricey hondas?

3) What is a good area to look for houses? I don't want to be living in the ghetto but I also don't wanna pay 3 grand a month for a studio. Hopefully not too far from downtown tho cus my girl lives in Belltown / Lower Queen Anne.

4) What are the local performance shops that you guys would recommend checking out?

5) Lastly (just cus I'm literally looking for any and all the assistance I can get with this) anyone know of some good shops or dealerships that are local and hiring? Either performance shops or just regular maintenance shops.
