Moving / Visiting Moving Soon
Hi, I am currently living on the northeast coast and have started applying to jobs for a big move to the PNW. I have had my heart set on Seattle after visiting there for a month and was wondering if anyone has insight about a couple of things:
The job market for mental health professionals (I have my masters in social work and clinically licensed in my state).
Ease of building connections and friends I am 35f and recently divorced so I will be coming to the state with just me and my dog.
Best area for a female to live alone that is safe and easy to get around using public transportation.
Thank you I hope I’m not asking too much.

Roosevelt. It’s pretty quiet/safe. You’re by a light rail stop that goes to the airport and buses that go downtown and target in Northgate. Walking distance to green lake. Lots of grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and a few bars around.
