Amazon.com
-It is one of fifteen major cities in the United States.
- It is considered by many nations to have a leading impact on technology,
international commerce, music, world religions, outdoor recreation, and
environmental concerns.
Where in Seattle is The Commons (the church I will be serving)?
Arlington/Marysville are two cities closely linked to one another and provide a prime location for planting a church.
-This area is located north of Downtown Seattle on the fast-growing outskirts.
-It is strategically located on Interstate 5, a major highway for Seattle
transportation.
-It provides affordable living for new families moving to Seattle or moving away from the city.
-With plenty of undeveloped land it is a major target for new housing developments and businesses.

Maybe you could reach out to the military here on Fort Lewis. It would be a great thing, and many of us army wives feel lost. I havnt been to church since I left GFBC. I just cant seem to find a church where I feel "at home".
It's a shame that God has to shake things up to get us out of our comfort zone,and get fired up for him. I am so glad you have taken on this mission God has given you. I will be praying for you and everyone involved in this movement.
