I’m going to be moving to Washington State from the uk in December- this is good information

Have a neighborhood or area you're curious about??? Let us know in the comments below! 👇👇 👇👇

This guy's voice and the faces he makes are so attractive wth, I keep having to rewind and pay attention harder

Are there any areas you consider the most bike friendly? I’m relocating from Chicago this June - I don’t drive, I hike everywhere. Also, are the neighborhoods covered in this video affordability based on renting or owning? Thanks!

Bike-friendly, the first that comes to mind is Redmond. Redmond is known as The Bicycle Capital Of The World. They even have a Velodrome. There are others for sure depending on what lifestyle you are looking for. We are talking about owning in this video, not renting. In a lot of areas. rents are up since last April: Bellevue had a 35% increase in rents. Belltown/ Downtown saw a 44% increase in rents. Central Seattle saw a 119% increase in rents. If you're considering a move, we'd love to help! Schedule an in-person video meeting or give me a buzz, we can chat more about what you are looking for and get you set up! 📅 ”In-Person” Video Call: geni.us/LivingInSeattleCall Talk soon-

Hey - Where exactly is your Job located? Town/ City? Glad to help and point you in the right direction. The reason I ask is I've had a lot of people reach out who are taking work near Seattle, but it's really Kirkland, or Tacoma, Lacy etc. All the Seattle metro area - but makes a big difference on your commute.

I think Cap Hill is bigger than most people think, so you can find quieter pockets or you can live right near where all the bars, and restaurants are. Where are you moving from?

@@cristianemariasantosferrei2697 that’s wonderful - yes, Capitol Hill definitely has great areas that are close in to everything that’s walkable. It’s a fairly large and diverse neighborhood so finding a quiet section just means really moving a few blocks outside of the retail corridors. My old office was on Pike, near the QFC on Broadway. We were a little closer to First Hill there, but I really loved the access to all the coffee shops near by. One thing I felt was unfortunately noticeable was a higher concentration of folks who were homeless in that area. The city is really focused on helping those people and cleaning up the streets in that regard now, so it has gotten better. But if you chose to live a few blocks off the main business streets you wouldn’t have as much of that to be concerned about either (if you are concerned at all) Ballard, Fremont, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, Greenlake all have great walk ability and great transit options, and a lot quieter neighborhoods - but are also less inundated with a homeless population. But things are cleaning up across the city, which is great. Is that helpful? What other questions can I answer?

Pretty sure they both have “Seattle” as their city in all the addresses. Isn’t that kind of like saying Beacon Hill isn’t seattle, when clearly it’s a neighborhood of Seattle? Same with Columbia city, or Rainier Beach - even Lake City. But Maybe I don’t understand your comment.

@@LivingandmovingtoSeattle If you look on a map of the official city boundaries, it is not located in the city proper. Which may be inconsequential to some.

Yeah, I get it. Affordability depends on a lot of factors. We always want to help folks find places that meet their requirements - number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall square footage - but also match their budget. There are always some trade-offs, unless maybe if you're Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or Jeff Bezos 🤷‍♂

Man, I just lost all respect for your opinions when you said Bryn Mawr is the safest and most affordable in South Seattle? That's utter lies brother. Bryn Mawr is full of crimes just being situated next to Skyway, and in no way being affordable like you said. Fact is fact and you just did a big dishonest on this one.

I get it - Totally understand where you're coming from. Like I said in the beginning, 'affordable' and 'Safest' don't always go hand in hand - and it's especially difficult in the city - even though Technically Bryn Mawr is a suburb and not actually in the city of Seattle. I could have said 'Columbia City' - but that's less affordable... I could have said 'Allentown' I guess. I haven't looked at the numbers recently. But I can tell you when it comes to Seattle... What price points are 'affordable.' Affordability really depends on the viewer. I hear people tell me that Ballard isn't safe... I hear people say Sand Point, Belltown, CapHill, LQA, Central and even First Hill aren't safe... And to a degree, they all have their good and bad parts. All that said - when I look up my old notes with the data - here's what I find: "Bryn Mawr-Skyway, also known as 98178, is considered Seattle's second safest neighborhood, with violent crime 12% lower than the national average." ( Wish I would have kept the source for you, but that's what I found in my old notes - Keep in mind, this video is a year old too). Appreciate you popping in though and dropping a comment. This topic definitely needs an updated video. PS: I'm nearly Positive in this video I meant to also mention Lakeridge - but again, I get what you mean.
