People should know that the “little cities” she’s describing are actually just neighborhoods within the city of Seattle-we have this thing where our neighborhoods have little downtowns. Tukwila is actually a separate city south of Seattle. Also, the light rail is not the only public transport here, although it’s the fastest and best. We do have a bus system and a lot of the neighborhoods she talked about-Fremont and Ballard specifically-have a lot of really accesible bus lines going through. Ballard especially has the D line, which is an express bus which can get you to downtown faster than driving in rush hour traffic for sure.

Honestly, I've lived in Maple Leaf / Northgate for 6 years and it's been closer to ideal than I would've thought. 4 bedroom house with 2 garage spots and plenty of free street parking nearby - $2200. No crime, plenty of frequent bus routes to other parts of Seattle (eventually the light rail will be up here). Allowed the roomies and I to save money, and some start-ups to get on their feet. Tukwila would be a last resort for me.

I just went through a round of apartment hunting and there weren't any apartments below $1700 for a 1bedroom and $2000 for 2bedroom. Parking is generally $150 min.

I agree. Your prices are much more tukwilla than cap hill, ballard, fremont, downtown, etc. 1300 gets you about 200 sqft in a micro apartment complex. 1600 gets you more like 430 sqft with laundry and a full kitchen. 2200 is roughly starting rent for a one bedroom... You can sometimes find cheaper in the old less desirable buildings by the freeway, or in less deserable areas.

Ya its also nasty. If you face the highway you get this fine dust in the air through the windows all the time. Thats from the traffic. Without AC, and without being able to open your windows due to highway crud, you will go nuts. The buildings are older, often with questionable management/cleanliness. And homeless congregate by the interstate, esp bridges. I was considering apts near there, but on a second tour the front window would be smashed in, etc. If its cheap, its probably cheap for a reason.

If any viewers care, its always been called Capitol Hill. No one from Seattle or Washington calls it Cap Hill. If you are youngish and trendy Fremont and Capitol Hill should appeal to you. Everything keeps getting more expensive. She is right though about digging endlessly to find what comparatively more reasonable options (those being generally a bit worn with basically no contemporary amenities) may exist and sharing is a reality if you can deal with that. Keep in mind a lot of people living in Seattle at present are under increasing stress and show it. Tukwilla had the highest crime rate in Washington state last time I saw figures on that. New buildings often seem to want a lot of money at move in. There are empty apartments in several of those as a result as I write this. And the gentrification of recent years remains very controversial in Seattle.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the Facebook page, I'm currently planning on moving to Seattle by the end of summer so I'm really glad you mentioned that. I look for apartments literally every single day, it's really unhealthy, lol. I've also looked into places like Tukwila, Renton, Everett etc. and although they're much cheaper, I think I'd rather take risk and pay more monthly to actually be able to enjoy Seattle completely. Also! Padmapper is really awesome for apartment hunting. I've found a handful of studio apartments near downtown Seattle for around $1,100 or less. Another tip, there's this management company called Pinnacle where they show all of their current listings online and you can filter it down to solely apartments in Seattle. pinnacleliving.com/communities/washington-apartments/seattle-apartments-for-rent/

*Rachel Waldorf* Thanks, I lived in Seattle for 5 years in the early 90's, met a girl and moved to MPLS Mn and got stuck. Now I want to move back there but there is way to much homelessness for me to find a place. I used to live at the 801 apartments downtown. I also lived in Capitol Hill. I worked at the Pike Place Market. I have my name on a waiting list for 2 apartments. 1 is in lower Queen Anne a mile from the Space Needle and the other is off Broadway about 6 block from Pike Street with a straight shot to downtown. Seattle. I miss Seattle so much. . . This is a digital oil and airbrush painting I did of Seattle. The original is way bigger than this print. www.madcowmodels.co.uk/images/27032018/tb_21004_489092_1522184102.jpg?lu=1522184104 This is a bit upclose of the same painting www.madcowmodels.co.uk/images/27032018/tb_21004_489094_1522184375.jpg?lu=1522184375
