I want to preface that I currently live in Nebraska, making 55k. I don’t have (and don’t want) kids, just 2 pets. I live pretty comfortably now, but I budget a lot and would like a little extra spending money.
The company offered 90k, but I’m wondering if I should try to negotiate…
To be fair, I’m from Vancouver, BC and we tend to have more downpours than here in Seattle. But there’s something so cozy about the misty fog that surrounds the Seattle area and I love it.
I need new friends. I have lots of hobbies and interests- museums, nature walks, perfume, drawing, painting, board games, tea, and more. I’m feeling sort of stuck socially. Anyone have any club or event suggestions, or something?
Hi all, my sister is hospitalized indefinitely on Swedish as she awaits a new addition to their family. She's had some visitors but our family isn't from Washington and so this has been limited. I'm wondering if there are any recommendations on activities or services that I can order to be "delivered" to her (manicure, massage, lesson of some sort, art/craft, someone who can teach her how to knit, best foods, etc.) I don't know.
She's stable but I'm worried about her and want her to have some more pleasant times as well. Any and all recommendations are welcome (obviously will ask her and her medical team to ensure she's allowed).
Thanks in advance.
I'm moving back in a few weeks and spotted a place in Georgetown that's in my budget. I always liked Georgetown but never got a chance to live there, that was 10+ years ago though.

Will be working on the hill so the 60 would be my go-to bus line.
Am surly old rock & roller
My mom is planning to take me to Seattle from October 23-26 for my birthday! It’ll be both our first time there (we are from SoCal). My actual birthday is the 25th. She is 40 so we are pretty similar, both very into fun activities and attractions.
We’ve never really heard of anything to do so I’m looking for some recommendations. I love thrifting, vintage markets, record stores. I’m a big music fan, museum nerd, we are not against tourist-y stuff either. Also any breakfast, lunch, dinner or desert spots? I think we’ll be walking mostly or uber every now and then.
This is what we have so far just as a list:
Easy street records
Fremont vintage mall
Fremont Sunday market
Bainbridge island ferry
Ballard market
Kerry park (nighttime view)
Pike place market
Space needle
Was wondering if there's any good conceptual art spaces here? Everything I've seen feels very aesthetic driven, decorative and repetitive...
Passable had some cool stuff at the art walk yesterday. And I enjoyed what Actualize had on in Pioneer Square this month as well. But I'm feeling quite underwhelmed in totality. Help!
Sup y’all! I’m driving up from Vancouver, WA to the game in Sunday by myself. Was seeing if any of you guys would wanna meet up or I can tag along before game lol. I know I can walk in bar and prolly just meet some peeps but thought I’d try this!
Go hawks!
my cna certification became active over a month ago, and i’ve been applying to jobs. i got rejected from multiple hospitals, which is understandable since they prefer/require you to have at least a year of cna experience. however, i also applied to nursing homes since they’re more likely to hire new cnas, but i still haven’t heard back from any of them. i don’t know if this is just a me problem or what. it’s driving me nuts!!! what do i do? i’m deadass thinking about walking into a facility to beg for a job.
Is there any store to buy phisical Nintendo Switch games cheaper in the city?
Me and my friend (both 40) are coming to Seattle on Sunday for the Seahawks game and staying the night.
The game starts at 1:30pm so we’ll have tons of time to do stuff after. We figure we’ll hit the bars before and after the game but do y’all have some suggestions about where to go?
Restaurants for dinner?
And if there are any cool concerts going on in the evening?
Thanks!
I recently moved to here and was hunting for a RN job. I have 2 years RN experience at Med/Surg as day shift in different state. I also have RN experience in other country as night. I recently got an offer at Swedish, but as night shift position. I’m so worried that night shift will cause insomnia, bad mental health and other negative effects that affected my mental and physical health when I was doing night shifts. But I’m also aware that it is very hard to find a job in Seattle. So I’m thinking I should just accept the offer. But again, I’m so concerned about my mental and physical health.
What should I do? Keep looking for a day shift position while using my savings and live off of my husband’s income, which is not a lot.
Ugh. Please advise, thanks in advance!
Hi all! I’m planning a move to Seattle from the South and Pioneer Square is at the top of my list, so I’d love some honest advice from people who live there or know the area well. I’m hoping to make the move around late October /November , and I’ll likely be earning around $125k. I’m looking at a budget of about $2200 a month for a studio/1BR/2BR with flexibility.
I have a car, so parking is a big question for me. Is street parking realistic, or should I only look at buildings with dedicated spots, and what does that usually run? I’m also moving solo for now, but my teenagers will be in the coming along down the road, so I’m trying to think about long-term fit too.
I’m looking for something walkable with good food and a real neighborhood feel, where I’d feel comfortable walking around at night. What’s daily life in Pioneer Square really like right now, the good and the bad? Are there buildings or landlords you’d recommend or steer clear of? And if you think another neighborhood like Capitol Hill, Georgetown, or Beacon Hill might be a better fit, I’m all ears.
Anything you wish you’d known before moving would be hugely appreciated. Thanks so much!
I’m in town for a work trip, and am staying near PIKE PLACE MARKET. Looking for a decent place to grab an early dinner that is solo diner friendly (good bar seating or small tables, etc) but is still cozy or has some ambiance. Even better if they have a good happy hour. I like all types of foods, but especially Thai, Sushi, or good pub food. I appreciate the advice!
Hey! Wondering how y'all find out about local shows/concerts in Seattle. Concert Calendars, Facebook Groups, Instagram, or websites. Any tips are appreciated. My band Cherokee Social is playing Seattle on Nov 6th and 9th and we are looking for places to post our gigs.
Thanks.
The ferry just came to a screeching halt off Alki. A boat was sent out and picked up 2 life rings 100 yards or so behind the ship. Anyone out there know what’s up?
Looking for recommendations on restaurants that host a good Thanksgiving dinner? Will be visiting from out of town, no family here so we will need to eat out somewhere. One of us is vegetarian, so there is also that restriction. We’re okay paying a bit more, but hoping to keep it under $90-$100/person. TIA
