Just one hitch: Elizabeth and Anton, already priced out of Seattle’s real estate market, hoped to buy in Colorado. “Now the stressor of the day is building a barricade to keep the bobcat out of the chicken coop,” she says, laughing. So they settled for a ranch house on the edge of Boulder with space for gardening and mountains nearby. They looked at a remote mountain village, but the broadband there was too slow to support online work - a critical factor in remote workers’ relocation choices. She quit and landed at a smaller biopharma that was glad to let her work from home. Elizabeth asked the same but got shot down. The tech giant Anton works for reluctantly agreed to let him stay remote indefinitely. “The call to Colorado kept getting stronger,” she recalls. They took an exploratory road trip around the Mountain West. Elizabeth and Anton faced the prospect of living and working together, 24 hours a day, in just 550 square feet, or looking elsewhere for more space and the life they really wanted. Then the pandemic hit, and everyone who could was told to work at home. On weekends they escaped to the woods and mountains. She biked around the city’s scenic Lake Union to her job in the city’s shiny new tech district, helping oversee clinical trials at a biopharma company, and grew vegetables in a nearby community garden. Their apartment, in a walkable neighborhood packed with hip restaurants and bars, was small, but it had an iconic view of Mt. She and Anton seemed to be living the Cascadia dream.
Little did they know it would put them in the vanguard of a pandemic-enabled geographic dispersion that demographers, economists, employers, developers and local governments are still figuring out.Įlizabeth grew up in a Seattle suburb and, after college and a spell working in Hawaii, returned to settle where she always wanted to live, in Seattle itself.
