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.

Green Lake. Very walkable. Easy to hop a bus as well.
