I may go to grad school in Seattle at the University of Washington. I'm researching rent prices and such on sites such as apartments.com and the cheapest areas I've found to live in are Everett, Mukilteo, Lynwood, etc. Are these safe areas not too far from the University? Any input on these areas or suggestions of other areas would be greatly appreciated. I know Seattle itself is of course on the pricey side so I'm looking into surrounding areas. Thanx!

Unfortunately, those aren't close at all. Everett is the next town north, and Lynnwood and Mukilteo are quite a ways out. Although buses go to UW from all over (major transfer point), those would be quite a commute for you. I'd recommend Ballard, Greenwood, Capitol Hill, or possibly Magnolia. The East side and downtown are much more expensive. The south side is cheaper, but definitely not as... er... quality-level neighborhoods. got to seattlep-i.com, the website for our newspaper, and read the sections on the various neighborhoods. Also consider using the paper to find a roommate. Roommates are extremely common and almost a given throughout Seattle due to housing prices. I found my first place on craigslist. Feel free to ask me about other neighborhood names you run across. I live in Greenwood, on the NW side of Seattle.

Those places are all pretty from from the University. Did you look on a map at these. Driving from Everett/Mukilteo would be about 45 minutes during traffic to the U. The Lynwood/Edmonds area might be a good choice. That is about half the drive and the area isn't bad. As you probably have noticed, Seattle is expensive to live in and the area around the UW is not the cheapest. In that Lynwood area, Shorline is a little cheaper, but not the best area.

Well if you can't afford to live in the U-District near UW. Lynwood is pretty good but a little farther north than you'd want to stay..and Everett and Mukilteo is waay far...at least enough to be a pain in the @$$. So I'd highly suggest Queen Anne downtown, or North Gate. Actually northgate has some decent rental prices, a mall near by, target, best buy, grocery stores etc, and is only about 2-3 free way exits from UW. I suggest Northgate. Or hell even try Bellevue..they got some places on the east side of Bellevue relatively cheap..and the "ghetto" of bellevue is far nicer than any place you'd find in renton and areas like that.

Monuments and memorials, diverse neighbourhoods, correct regional flavour it's this that Washington, DC is; a location unlike any other; exactly like this site hotelbye . Washington it's your property abroad with free museums and America's entrance yard. Washington is acknowledged around the world as a symbol of the United States. Here, the spot you cannot miss may be the Capitol. Capitol could be the seat of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The big dome, based on the dome of St. Peter's in Rome, stands apart especially other Washington buildings. Like Washington it self, the developing has developed over time since the key section was created between 1793 and 1812. The past supplement, in 1958-62, increased the key façade where presidents take the oath. On another area, a marble terrace presents lovely opinions over the mall and the city. The inner is resplendent with frescoes, reliefs, and paintings, specially the rotunda beneath the good cast-iron dome with a ceiling painting by Constantino Brumidi and big paintings of scenes from American history on the walls.

all those places are pretty far from the u-district, it would be horrible getting there in the mornings with traffic! There are some reasonably priced apartments in the u-district, you could also always move in with a house or apartment w/ room-mates and that would lower the cost of rent.
but if you want to live out of Seattle Ballard would be closer than the options you were looking into.
Or you could consider the Tacoma Campus, a lot smaller but more affordable living close to the University.

Try Ballard its next to downtown Seattle. Its about 10 mins away from UW and 10 mins from the beach Golden Gardens to very pretty!

The places you mentioned are too far from the University. Try for Sand Point and Wedgewood.
