Seattle

Ok, here's my situation. My company has jobs available almost everywhere in the US. I get to pick 5 cities to live and get sent to one of them. One city on my list will undoubtedly be Seattle (been there once and loved it). Can I get some general info on the city? Real estate prices, crime rate, traffic, fun stuff to do??? I'm also a big snowboarder, any of that close by? I don't think the rain thing will be a problem for my wife and I, but how do people with experience of moving to Seattle deal with it? I should have prefaced all of the ?'s with: I will more than likely be at or near the Sea-Tac airport for work. I'm willing to commute for a better neighborhood but nothing crazy. Also, we are not millionaires, lets say we pull in about 100k/year, hence please don't tell me to move to Seattles version of Beverly Hills. Thank you all in advance for answering such a broad question, just any pertinent info would be great, thanks again!

I love the city and want to know as much as possible about it. I've started a media Wiki project inviting anyone to comment on their thoughts and experiences along with anything about Seattle, WA.

My friend and I are planning to move to Seattle this fall, and we are trying the best we can to find everything we can about the area.

We plan on living in Washington for a year in order to get instate tuition for the following school year. We planned on moving to Seattle, but we want to find the safest, cheapest, and most bike accessible area we can.

Does anyone have any information or referrals to areas outside of Seattle, but close enough to the city?

Also, although I am undecided in which school I will be attending, my friend is planning on attending UW; so a surrounding area close to that school would be ideal.

For example what phrases are used commonly that an outsider wouldn't automatically know?
One that I can think of is "Eastside" refering to points east of Lake Washington

I may have to relocate to Seattle for my job. I can't wait, but my significant other is apprehensive because we've both heard it's rainy and cloudy all the time. I've been there twice. The first time there were rolling blankets of clouds covering everything for the whole week (but it was still gorgeous). The second time it was sunny and absolutely breathtaking the whole week. So is it really gray more than it is sunny? Please advise. Thank you much!

I know there's no such thing as being 100% safe, but there has to be more decent and safer areas in Spokane to live. Can anyone give me some recommendations, tips, and even let me know the areas to avoid all together. This is in regards to finding and apartment. Thanks!!

Okay, I'm trying to cut down on my spending, but I am bored outta my skull. Unfortunately, all the "frugal living" sites are geared around moms with a horde of kids and "family" things to do, or students (of which I am no longer). I'm single, live alone, and I want to have some fun and meet new friends without breaking the bank. There's got to be more than books and DVDs from the library and surfing the net!

I am moving to Seattle in the summer and I will be going to school full-time to get a masters degree in psychology. Also, do people in Seattle need baby-sitters? lol I thought that would be a good way to make money, and I have a lot of experience watching children.

My friend and I are considering moving out there. After some research, I figure it'd be best if we get an appartment in the Capitol Hill, University District area. What's the cheapest two bedroom apartment in this area? What could we expect to pay for a tiny, well-kept one in an semisafe neighborhood?

Is it possible to go carless in this part of Seattle? (I'm counting on biking around or taking the bus). Would it be dangerous to do this?

Here are our priorities for chosing a place:
1. price
2. transportation
3. safety (I know living in a big city means it's not safe, but we'll be two young college girls completely new to both the city and the state. We need to be able to get around without getting mugged or murdered or raped.)
4. close proximity to places like grocery and general stores
5. living by other people our age
