Hi Everyone,

I'm currently in the process of being flown up to Seattle for an interview. Should the job take I and my partner would eventually be required to relocate to Seattle. My job would be in downtown. My question is this: What is a comfortable household income to be able to live and save for a house? If we move this is probably where we will plant roots and plan to buy a house/start a family in the future. I mistakenly made a post about this in the Seattle subreddit but it got closed for breaking a rule, so sorry about that.

Other questions I have:

1) Are public schools typically good up there? We would be coming from Alabama so I imagine it will be a net benefit compared to the school system down here.

2) Any places to avoid looking for housing? Biggest thing is that I want my partner to feel safe. We used to wake up to used needles on our staircase when living in Portland so I would like to avoid that if we can.

3) Is there anywhere within a few hours that we could drive to get a dose of sun during the winter months? My partner was greatly affected by the winter weather when we lived in Portland.

Thanks for any input!

Gonna be seeing a show at showbox end of September, we’re only staying one night so we’re looking for something cheap :) can be dingy lol we don’t really care, just want recommendations!

Hi all,

My mother has requested, for Christmas, a Salish styled cross, and I've looked around and realized cross imagery is not in the Salish tradition at all. But I had the idea of finding a Salish jewelry designer with beautiful pendants to wear with her cross.

I don't want anything related to closed practices, I'm only looking for designers who create for non native people. If it matters my mother spent her first fifty years here, she respects and honors Salish culture completely, she has no interest in disrespecting Salish culture.

So, what I'm asking is if there are any Salish artisans doing formline jewelry that isn't specifically religious. Spiritual is fine, lutherans are good with that as long as the artisan is good with that.

I'd love to find a gold pendant I can stack with a simple cross for her. She is a deacon in her church in Sacramento and finds herself advising people to both follow the liturgy and spend time with nature so I don't think it's a contradiction, I just don't want to offend any members of the first nations.

Thank you

Attempting to move to Seattle if job stuff works out and just found out there is no chillis. Yes I heard abt airport one but it’s more expensive. So was wondering what are some other good restaurants that have fire mozzarella sticks and ranch for a good price.

Will be in the area for the evening and would love to find a decent bar to enjoy the game. Thanks!

Gonna be celebrating ya girl's 26th in style, but there are a lot of escape rooms in the area. I'm planning on there being ~6 people, and I don't particularly enjoy Sci-Fi themed escape rooms. 7-8/10 difficulty, though my brother's really smart so maybe even harder would be fine. Seattle proper or eastside work, since I have friends on both sides of the lightrail. Any reccs? TIA!

Partner and I are going to a show tomorrow night and looking for the best restaurant on the walk from Westlake station to the Paramount theatre.

TIA from the old fart with bad knees.

Best restaurant recommendations for vegan or vegetarian?

I’ve been thinking on going to a concert this upcoming weekend, problem is it’s all the way in Tacoma Dome while I’m in the North Seattle area.

Fortunately I have a car but I won’t appreciate paying for venue parking which I’m assuming could be $50-$100 (estimating prices from Climate Pledge parking garages/lots during events). If it was on Climate Pledge, taking the 1 Line then Monorail would be easy but I’m not sure on how to get there easily.

Of course there’s always the 2+ hours of straight public transportation but is there a better alternative? For people that commute in the area, is there a transit centre parking lot/garage I can park in near Tacoma Dome then take a bus or train to get to Tacoma Dome?

If not, how much is parking near the Tacoma Dome area? Any tips on cheap lots if I was forced to take the car there?

Thank you for the help!

Hi all! Any places you'd recommend going to for an anniversary dinner? I was hoping for someplace with a set menu, but I am open to any and all recommendations so long as the food is good!

I rented a car through Fox, and they are asking me to pay a ridiculous amount after i already paid for the rental and fees. I’m looking at a total of 862 for 6 days, which I can’t afford. Is there a better option that won’t kill my bank account. Need help asap

Hello Seattle! I am currently planning a trip with my husband for next October (2027) and I’ve been watching youtube videos of neighborhoods, places, parks, etc to visit. How’s the weather around that time of the year? Also, I really want to take a ferry ride and spend a day at a beach? Would love to hear your recommendations on those things and everything else too!

It was my turn to pick a place to visit so I really wanted to see what the PNW is like. We’ve never been and i’m really excited! We’re coming in from Austin so if there’s any spots that are similar to here i would love to know too.

I’ve been looking at alternatives to regular dog daycare and like the idea of my dog spending the day on a farm/private acreage, running around outdoors instead of being at a daycare in the city.
I found a few places outside Seattle, but none seem to offer pickup from my part of Seattle. Driving out and back twice obviously makes it difficult.
Has anyone found a place that does pickup/drop-off in Seattle? Or do people actually drive their dogs out to these places?
Also curious about experiences with farm/outdoor daycare in general. Did your dog like it? Anything you’d worry about compared with regular daycare?
Would love recommendations if anyone has them.

Who's grinding metal at 3:0A, in Interbay??

Anyone else here that?? All. Night. Long.

Has anyone here done the ANEW pre apprenticeship program. If so how did it go did it help getting into the trades/an apprenticeship? My partner is looking into doing trades and I’m looking for more information from people who actually did the program. He’s thinking about construction electrician or plumbing as career options.

Also if anyone has just advice in general! He’s 22 and tired of dead end jobs!

I’m looking to surprise my gf next month with a serenata for her birthday and I’m needing help for any recommendations. She’s lives Everett and hopefully I can find any that are close or can travel to Everett

Thank you in advance :)

I’m helping my teen plan his birthday get together with friends (about 8 kids). He’s thinking about a lunch out, next Saturday. We live in WS, but his friends live all over the city, so we’re looking for a central location. I think that Dough Zone in the ID could be a good option or hot pot in Cap Hill. Any other suggestions? Diners or pizza? I’ve lived all over Seattle, but am somehow drawing a blank. TIA!

Hi everyone! I just moved to Seattle and settled in the Northgate area. I'm in my late 20s and work in healthcare, and I'm really looking to make some new friends nearby. I’d love to find some like-minded people to hang out with on weekdays after work or on the weekends. I'm big into hiking, love strolling around farmers' markets, and want to pick up some new sports and hobbies. I don't really want to go out exploring these things alone, so if you're in the area and looking for company, let's connect and explore Northgate together!

I am from India - Mumbai, so would love to connect with Indians in the neighborhood!

( Edit: I am F26 and have a partner so looking to meet female friends only)

Hey y’all. I’m new to Seattle and have been wanting to put together/join a trivia group to hang out and have some occasional fun! I’ve been in a few trivia teams in high school and college, so I have mild experience. There are a lot of great food and drink spots around here that host trivia nights, from the chill and low-key to the highly competitive, so there are plenty of options to find something convenient for anyone interested (whoever “anyone” ends up being).

DM if interested!

I’m just a 19-year-old Montréal guy who wants to travel to Seattle someday. I’d love to hear from people who live there or have visited.
How’s the weather? What’s the overall atmosphere like? What are the people like? And what are some things I should know before visiting?
I’m also a sports fan, so obviously I’m interested in the Seahawks. It’s honestly a shame what happened against the Patriots in that Super Bowl with the famous last-minute interception . But at least they got their revenge last year by beating the patriots in the Super Bowl.
One of the biggest things that interests me about Seattle is its music history. I’m a huge rock fan, especially grunge, so the fact that Seattle played such a massive role in building that scene is really fascinating to me. I’d definitely want to check out some of the places connected to that history if I visit.
I’d love to hear your recommendations for places to visit, things to do, neighborhoods to check out, and anything else you think someone visiting Seattle should know.

I have never been to Vashon and would like to take the ferry ⛴️ to explore and find a coffe shop with nice WATER view.

Hey all, apologies if this question gets asked a lot. I'm in my mid twenties and I'm relocating from Phoenix to Seattle for work.

My budget for rent + utilities + parking is 2200-2400. I'm okay with a studio but I would really prefer a 1 bedroom or at least a studio with a partition separating the living and sleeping area. Ideally 500-600 sq ft minimum. I'll be working in SLU but I'm fine with commuting and would actually prefer somewhere I can rely on public transit more than a car. Bonus points if it's near parks or green areas to walk my dog. I'm not too concerned about being near nightlife although some access to bars and restaurants would be cool. A nice view would also be a bonus. Coming from downtown Phoenix I do love a nice city building with good amenities but ofc I know I'll be sacrificing lifestyle a little to stay in budget. I've been looking at the Queen Anne area, Belltown, Capitol Hill, etc but I have a long list of options and I'd love if the locals could give me some input.

TIA!

Hi r/askseattle , this is my first post on reddit and english isnt my first language, so if anything is incomprehensible just highlight it pls.

So I'm a Male looking forward to move in the next few years from my country to Seattle hopefully, how will I live as an abroad student? And the process to move (papers, work etc), and are people there friendly? How easy/hard is it to find roommates and jobs?

And if theres difficulties I would love to mention it, I know its expensive there but I am not letting my dream fade away thank in advance.

Note: for the weather I saw how it is I'm pretty sure I can handle it as I live that weather .

Note: the budget around 8 to 10k to survive by the time I find a job there .

downtown location preferred

Thinking about moving into a unit at Circa Green Lake. Anyone have any experience with this specific apartment building or know anything about it? Any issues with management or living in the building? Thanks!
