New in Seattle, do not know anyone except for my daughter and family. Lived and worked in California 40 + yrs, before that Europe. I have traveled far (mostly adventure travel)and seen beautiful sites and would like to do some more(trekked the Andes and Himalayas). (Although less roughing it would be more appropriate at this point in my life). Prefer sun over rain , nature over city, beach over asphalt, but wanted to see my two grandchildren more often while still small, so here I am. Am looking to date or have a friend or a long term relationship or an activity partner or???? I am attractive, healthy, fit,congenial and financially independent. Would like to spend several weeks (months)in a warm climate during Seattle winters. Just stopped working, enjoy volunteering, which I did the last 5 yrs as well. Enjoy the Arts,classical music or mostly any music, movies, exploring outside Seattle, walking, biking etc. Am an avid reader, biographies, historical fiction etc. Attraction, mutual understanding,trust and the ability to have fun together are central.Someone who might enlarge my world, expands life's possibilities. To matter to someone and someone to matter to me, someone attractive,fit and healthy.

First Meeting: Meet at Starbucks or Greenlake (not very original, but fine with me ). Date:I would like to explore the surroundings of Seattle, specially if it is a nice day outside. Or go for a hike, or go to a book reading or an Art show or a Museum or ?????
