For anyone familiar with Seattle...

If anyone knows the Seattle area...

I'm moving to Seattle at the end of the week. I've never been there and was wondering if anyone who was familiar with the area would like to share some suggestions on places to check out (or places to avoid).

Also, I haven't found an apartment yet so if anyone has any suggestions about cheap apartments within walking distance of downtown that would be great also.

I don't know anyone in the area either so if anyone wants to go grab a drink sometime, first round is on me!

Wow. You haven't even found an apartment yet and you're moving there in a week? You, uh, might want to get on the ball. Living in a cardboard box under the freeway isn't exactly a lot of fun.

In all seriousness, good luck on the move. I hear that Seattle is really a very pretty city. I hope it treats you well.

My brother's living in Seattle and from what he told me, it's a great place to live. He did say Belltown was kind of a sketchy area, so I guess that may be a place to avoid. He also said the city was really spread out with a huge lake right in the middle, so if you want to get anywhere in the city, you have to be prepared to drive alot. Finally, he also said that the cost of a house is really high compared to other cities, and starts around $500,000. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I know. Poor planning on my part. I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a place but I guess I should have realized it would be tough since I'm currently unemployed. I finally found something though, about 4 miles north of downtown.

Thanks for all the tips guys. This time next week I should be 2,500 miles farther west.
