LeX Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Job opening with my company in the area... been trying to get out of Georgia forever. How's it being poor around that area.. which is what I'd be ;p Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well you really cant be too poor actually in Seattle, but you can around the area. Will your job actually be in Seattle itself?- just just around this way? Hahaha if you move out here, you can see your old wheels again. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ya stay out of Seattle Metro, and Eastside, ( Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland" ...But everything else seem workable, price wise. This is just an expensive state to live in, high gas tax, high sales tax. etc. But I think it is a nice state to live in..Weather is night and day from Georgia....No high humidity here...

LeX Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have no idea the actual location it just says Seattle WA lol Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Humidity falls on your head here....rural can be workable. and yeah prices seem to be inflated around here, gas today is at $4.45 down the street. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Its 4.35 in Silverdale. Depending on where the job is, you can commute. Seattle traffic (as well as roads) suck, but you can make due. You can also live across the Sound (Silverdale, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, etc. ) and take the ferry across the water... then walk to work depending on where it is. Who do you work for?

goonfan Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't think Wa is too expensive to live. I'm from California though. I'm getting tired of the weather, it's June and it's raining all week. Like every one has said the city is pricey but you can find reasonable places to live if you look. Quote Link to comment
goonfan Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Forgot an important piece of info for people looking to move to the area. Do NOT trust Google or any other program that tells you how far away one zip code is from another. Look at a map. I'm 20mi from Seattle, but that's across water, 90min drive vs 20.

LeX Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've never even been to WA just always liked the idea. Been in GA forever it seems. I work for geico Quote Link to comment
edakotaford Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Personally, i love it up here. I may never move anywhere else. The weather's not like LA, but i've been told the scenery is as close to New Zealand as it gets in the states. the Pacific Northwest is a beautiful place to live. I'm in Edmonds, about 3 minutes from the water, 20 minutes from downtown, and an hour and a half from the mountains. couldn't be happier. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Humidity falls on your head here....yes beware, we are at typical 70% humidity. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Its awesome! if you want warm weather go to the other side of the mountains. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Its awesome! if you want warm weather go to the other side of the mountains. Meaning: It is kinda wet and cool and very green on the West side of the Cascade Mts. but if you drive about 1 1/2 hours East it is arid almost desert like ...Well very desert like actually.

moparvwfreak Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 i love it here. this is home. born and raised. and although i am about an hour from seattle, i am there every week. the commutes aren't to terrible, just dont go 520. toll roads suck. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Maybe we could do a swap. I like Rural, Atlanta you get alot more house(Brick) for your money and yard. Hunting fishing ect..... warm weather but hate humidity. Lots of hussle and bussle up here and lots of beat Datsuns. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I can't wait to be in Washington. Two more weeks and I'll be starting my life up there. Quote Link to comment
