Hi Jim and Welcome to the 'Cat. WE have quite a few members out your way, both in Seattle and in the Northwest as well. They have had several Mudcat gatherings and it's a great group of some terrific folks. If they don't check in here, start a thread titled "Looking for Seattle Members" or Northwest US Members or something to that effect.

As far as the "new member" goes, I'm quite satisfied with my old member which is still functioning pretty well.
