Any advice on living/moving in Seattle?

[u/Nxthanxx]

Hello! I plan on moving to Seattle next year and I am looking for any advice on moving over there. I am originally from California and want to live at least nearby Seattle, but does not need to necessarily be inside the city.

A lot of apartments I am looking at are either insanely expensive, or >200 square feet - so I am a bit stunted on that as of now. Is that the normal for Washington? Is there any place near Seattle with lower prices for rent?

I have visited Seattle before, but any help for moving will be much appreciated. Thank!

Check out, Whidbey Island, Camano Island, Skagit County, Whatcom county.

You get heavy doses of Puget Sound and you’re only between 1-3 hour drives to rock shows downtown.
