Im moving to seattle and i was wondering if anyone that lives there can tell me which neighborhoods i should look for places in? Also, what can if expect to pay for rent and living expenses out there?
Looking for neighborhoods 15 mins from downtown and 1 bedrooms or studios specifically.

how did you decide to move to seattle without having a***yzed that information in your decision making process

OP disappoints you

I got a job there so im going no matter what. Now i just gotta figure out some details. You from there?

I figured buddy but im from LA. Cant be worst cost of living then here

No the company will give me a relocation bonus

OP going to Amazon wow

True.

Well tell me a little about your experience. Maybe it will help me prepare for the move

no real help on the neighbourhood side of things but good luck brotha,
have some homies that made the same move (one got cut off bc of COVID, s*** hurt) but generally speaking - play those those office politics well and you should be flying through positions

I like Seattle. I have no other information of use to you but I had a good time visiting

Yeah ill make sure i put in a good effort at work. Thanks bro

I was more looking to live in the city to keep commute less tham 15 mins but Ill check out federal way. Thanks!

Dont live in federal way LMFAOOOOOO

If you're straight up going to be commuting from fed way you'll be killing yourself.

If you work for Amazon Im guessing you prob make like 70-80k+ depends if ur a new grad, mid or senior or w/e so you can afford to live up north.

Im assuming you'll be commuting to lower queen anne
West seattle is cheap but a bit sketch

U district is cheap full of uni students
cap hill is good for night life
don't live in queen anne hella expensive out of everything unless u want to idk
cd (central district) is already gentrified so you can live there i guess but its historically black
You can also live up in north seattle i would recommend that but some neighborhoods are whyppl s*** e.g. view ridge
up by northgate its cheap but gets sketch in some areas

note on anything south:
anything in columbia city or south of columbia city ur gonna be a gentrifier that is our most ethnically diverse part of our county and if u be apart of the reason of their gentrification ima be pissed

Just depends on what u want but anything on an amazon budget isn't too intense ig

Capitol Hill

This thread can be locked i guess since I found out i actually work in Bellevue. You can go ahead and lock it i know your good at that

You’ll like Bellevue. Well maybe it’s nicely put together. Kinda dry lol but Uber safe

Im looking forward to the hikes and biking.
