Hello,

We are thinking of retiring near Seattle or Olympia.
And someone was nice enough to inform me that Sequim and Anacortes are the retirement communities around the Seattle area. Does anyone know where the retirement communities are around Olympia?
If there are none, which areas or side of town would be quietest/safest?

Thanks!

I am looking for a wonderfully beautiful, secluded out of the way place to have my wedding. It will be a very small gathering ( 5 people) and we would prefer a place that is out in nature, publicly accesable, and beautiful. The fewer tourist that we run into the better. Neither of us are big hikers, so a place that is easy to get to woudl be best, but a little hiking is okay. Waterfalls, forests, and wonderful views will be top of our list. Let me know if you have suggestions.

My husband and I are retired and moving to WA soon.
Can anyone tell us where a good location would be for older people, yet within a moderate driving distance to parks, movies, restaurants, malls, bookstores etc.?
We are finished raising our children, so we prefer not to live in a young, baby-boomer location.
Thanks for your help!
Chris

I'm visiting Seattle soon, hoping to rent a car (age 20) for ease of transportation. Does anyone have any information pertaining to companies which will rent a car to a minor? It seems like many of the larger corporate rent a cars have an age restriction of 21 and above.

Any information is appreciated.

I'm moving next month to Seattle, and have so far avoided buying big "REI-looking" jackets, they're just not cute enough! I have several pea coats etc, but nothing really rain-proof. Does everyone in Seattle wear gortex jacket-type gear? Or are their cooler alternatives?
...I'm also having the same trouble with water-proof shoes...any and all advice is welcome! Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for reading and responding. I've been planning a trip to Seattle, but I need help organizing it. My interests are outdoor activities & sights----including hiking, biking, and kayaking; seeing cool neighborhoods; hanging out at coffee houses/bookstores/jazz clubs.

So here's a list of activities and sights I am interested in so far for my nine day stay in Seattle (Sept. 2 - 11). I'm trying to organize all these activities and sights into a feasible itinerary, one in which I economize my time and energy. Please, while I understand that much of how it could be organized depends on many factors, such as my preferences, I could use your guidance! By the way, I will have a car. And on a couple of these days, I'll be hiking with a friend, a long-term resident of Seattle. I would appreciate your suggestions as to how I might make the most of my time and do as many of these as possible. How might you organize the following? Here's my very rough itinerary so far, all of which can be altered, including the particular day I do certain activities:

Starting Sunday, Sept. 2; final day, Mon., Sept. 10:

Day 1, Sun, Sept. 2: Bumbershoot Festival (I arrive from Korea on this day, early morning----not sure if I'll be too tired to get out. I hope not!)

Day 2, Mon., Sept. 3: Bumbershoot Festival (?) I'm not sure if I'm going to do two days of this festival. Maybe just one. Are two days worth it or is one day enough?

Day 3 & 4, Tues., Sept. 4 & Wed, Sept 5: I'd like to get an overview of the city by renting a bike and doing the Burke-Gilman Trail. If it helps me get around better than a car, I'd consider renting a bike for two days. While I want to see as much as possible, I'd like to stop and do things along the way.

I realize that I can't do all of these in one day. But here are sctivities/sights I'd like to do, at some point, whether on this day of biking or on some other day:

Neighborhoods:

I like cool neighborhoods with interesting architecture and/or quaint stores/coffee shops
* Fremont
* University District
* Capitol Hill
* Queen Ann
* Ballard Locks
*West Seattle (? not sure---is it worth it?)
* Green Lake (? not sure---is it worth it?)
*Pike's Place Market (I know, not a neighborhood, but a place I could bike to on one of these days?)

CITY PARKS:

There seem to be so many good ones----for amazing views & beauty----that I'm confused. Which are really worth going to? It seems that most people agree on:
Kerry Park (at night?),
Olympic Sculpture Park,
Volunteer, and
Golden Gardens. Do you agree? I'm not sure about Carkeek or Gas Works though. Are these "duplicates experiences" of other parks?

GARDENS/NATURE CENTERS:

I don't need to see ALL gardens/nature centers of Seattle, just the most significant/beautiful. If they all are worth it, however, then let me know. Which ones? It seems:

* Washington Park Arboretum
* Kubota Garden
* Woodland Park Rose Garden (? "duplicate"?)
* Univ. of Washington Botanical Gardens (? again, "duplicate" of others?)

Day 5, Thursday, Sept. 6: I must take do some shopping for an upcoming backpacking trip. Any suggestions for a good outdoors/backpacking store?

Day 6, Friday, Sept. 7: Kayaking-----on Lake Union? Lake Washington? Also, on this day, the Bainbridge ferry to Bremerton----unless this is a day unto itself.

Day 7, Saturday, Sept. 8: hiking----Mt. St. Helen's

Day 8, Sunday, Sept. 9: hiking----Mt. Rainier (or some place my friend knows)

Day 9, Monday, Sept. 10: A museum (any "musts-sees"?) Relax at some coffee shops? Definitely see a Mariners game that night.

As you can see, I want to stay ACTIVE, but don't get me wrong: I want to have some down time along the way, such as enjoying a meal, hanging out at some cool cafes, coffee houses, and jazz club, not to mention parks.

"Must-visit" Coffee Houses that are COMFORTABLE and w/ATMOSPHERE:

* It seems people are saying: Uptown Espresso, Vivace, Coffee Messiah. Agree?

"Must-visit" restaurants, especially seafood:

* Only got one so far: Ray's

"Must-visit" jazz clubs, especially for "After-hours lounge jazz":

* depends on schedule, I know, but people are talking about The Triple Door.

Notice I'm leaving out many tourist attractions, like the Space Needle and the zoo. These don't seem to be important compared to my priorities. Am I wrong? Have I missed anything?

Thanks so much for any information and/or suggestions which might help me better define my itinerary.

Cheers

My fiance and I are thinking about moving to Seattle, Washington from Naples, Florida. We're tired of the life we have here and more than anything, the weather. If anyone lives in Seattle, or has lived there, I wouldn't mind getting some info on the kind of jobs that are available, the approximate unemployment rate.. If there are good restaurants, things to do, ect. Basically, just info on the city itself would be great.
