We are thinking about relocating to the Seattle area, and are looking for a quiet, residential neighborhood. We also have to consider an elementary school for our daughter. Which towns do you recommend?

I would reccomend Medina or Bellevue. Bellevue is only 10-15 minutes away from Seattle. It is just across the bridge and they have excellent schools and recreational activities. Medina is very nice. Most houses are water front(lake washington). Medina is very pricy although it has the newest elementary school in the area. Medina is about 5 minutes from Bellevue(not highway roads) and is the best sutible place for you family. It is beautiful, friendly and safe for your daughter to walk around by herself. Also if medina is a little to pricy I would reccomend issiquah. It is about 30 minutes from Seattle but still close enough. That area is very quiet and many new people move there every day. Hope this helps. A local real estate agencie is called John L Scott. I would take a look at their website called johnlscott.com

Seattle, although quite the city to visit during the summer is treacherous during the cold seasons, not only the rain, the winds, and the snow, but the biting cold. I don't recommend packing up and moving there without first going there during the hot and cold seasons.
With regards to a neighborhood, there is a great area by the bay that has a lot of shops, kind of a mini version of SF bay and Catalina Island feel.

I recommend the eastside (east of lake washington, Seattle is on the west side of the lake). I raised my family in Kirkland and would suggest it or Bothell. Bothell is smaller and quaint. The Lake Washington school district is one of the best in the state, as is Bellevue.

The east aspect (Bellevue, Sammamish, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond) are the upscale places with magnificent perspectives and espresso crime and such. do only not overlook that the realm is a complete snobfest...

Lacey is pretty cool. Why would you want to move there? It rains too much for me. Move to Hawaii.
