moving to Seattle - Lemmy.world

Hello all. I have landed a job in Seattle. I wanted to know your input in finding a place to rent in Seattle. I learned from Reddit that I should avoid Tacoma. However, I’m looking for more tips on how to find a place and how far from Seattle is too far. As a follow-up question, how to find a place not very expensive that is safe and is near a market where groceries are not expensive. What I mean by the latter is that some big name stores are more experience.#

how far from Seattle is too far

That’s the central question, and it’s a question you need to ask yourself. Is your job in downtown Seattle? Are you planning to get a car? How much time do you want to spend commuting each day?

I’ve added an edit. But basically 1 to 1.5hr communte one way. I think the job is close to I90 and I would wish to be within distance that I could so via like skates or brisk walk or something. But if I need to drive than that’s OK.
