Hello. I am a Michigan teacher certified in elementary education and Spanish. I hope to relocate to either the Seattle or Vancouver (WA) areas by next fall. I am currently in the process of getting certified in Washington, but would like to know a few things:
1) Does generally a lot of hiring take place in the education field?
2) Namely, what are some nice districts to work for?
3) Specifically, where would an ideal location be to live for an avid music/concert lover?
Thank you for your help!

1) I could not answer this for you since I have not ever tried to get a job in a school.
2) I would go for Shoreline and Bellvue School District or Seattle is nice, but stay in the north side of Downtown. If you are looking for diversity (since you speak spanish) there is a huge diverse student base in the Tukwila school district. These areas are not the best to live in unless you live in Tukwila Hills there is an elementary school right in the middle of it. Cute place.
3) All music scenes are downtown, but no matter where you live downtown is close. Benaroa Hall is there and all the theaters. Concerts are held in Benraroa, Qwest, and the Key Arena which are all located downtown.

I have heard that Shoreline has a very good school district. Shoreline is just north of the Seattle city limits which would put you about 15 minutes to downtown Seattle and the music scene.
I have also heard that Puyallup has good schools but it is sort of out of the way to downtown Seattle although you would be close to Tacoma.

Can't say anything about the working conditions, but the trend seems to be that anyone with kids in school who has the financial means picks up and moves to one of the nearby suburbs (Shoreline or Bellevue mainly) for the better schools, as opposed to letting Seattle Public Schools have their way with them.

Try this website. We relocated to WA and looked at this site to put our daughter in a new school. We needed to know where the kids were passing the state test the best. Good luck.

undemanding colleges: Kennydale and Sierra Heights. those will feed into McKnight as a center college and Hazen as a extreme college whilst your baby reaches that age. surely dodge living in a community which will finally feed into Dimmett center college and Renton extreme...ugh!! you will see that the maps on the Renton college district's internet site and then use those to make certain the place you prefer to stay.
