Moving out to Seattle. Any advice?

mashimarho · 08-14-2014, 10:06 AM

With new job opportunities, it looks like I'll be relocating to Seattle (not sure exactly where). Hoping to meet new faces and a new crowd. Anything I should know about prior to moving (in general)?

All I've heard about Seattle is corporate businesses, rain, coffee, and Canada. Clearly, I don't know much.

Here's what I'll be bringing in December.

Seattle's awesome, plenty of things to do. Excited to have another member in the area. Looking forward to meeting you and your sexy E92!

M.a.r.k.u.s · 08-14-2014, 12:42 PM

Taran.J · 08-14-2014, 01:53 PM

Holy fuck Sean! Ok ok we gotta plan a New Years meet now!

But depending on what you do we can help steer you in the right direction.

mashimarho · 08-14-2014, 02:20 PM

I'm actually not local to Seattle. I live in Montana but make it that way occasionally!

123Britt · 08-14-2014, 10:12 PM

I always liked the Redmond area -- the mix of people and culture makes Seattle a neat place. The traffic and the drizzle - not so much. Love the car!

GenEricOne · 08-14-2014, 11:16 PM

And Portland is about 3 hours south.

floydarogers · 08-15-2014, 01:06 AM

Traffic is kind of sucky. Used to be ok. Glad I don't have to work and commute. Might want to consider location to public transpo when choosing where to live.

Downtown Seattle has become really a "scene", if you like that. It's also gotten pricey to rent apts downtown.

Usually, if it's drizzle around Seattle, it's sunny up at the ski areas.

mashimarho · 08-15-2014, 08:52 AM

Thanks for everyone's input. Looking forward.

bimmette · 08-16-2014, 02:00 AM

That's awesome, Sean! You'll like it! And yeah, the proximity to Vancouver will be the best thing about Seattle

haha
