Moving to Seattle

[Lukasss]

I recently was offered a job keen to my interest out there.

I currently live in Florida. I moved to South California and lived in Long Beach for a month and Santa Barbara for a month. It really wasnt in my taste. While aesthetically far different, it was too 'beachy' for me. So I came back to Florida.

Anyways, before i give my life story, i figured id ask a few questions about the area.

I have never been to Seattle, or Washington for that matter. But ive heard nothing but great things.

Unfortunately they are often biased opinions of visitors.

My questions are this:


- Where are good areas to look for living? Probably shooting for an apartment. A friend of mine is going with me.
Im young, 21, but not a huge party animal. Id prefer to stay away from university housing and stuff like that.

- Areas to stray from?

- I love nature stuff. Mountains, trees, all that green shit. I hear its not far from the city at all? Most i can tell is pictures, map stuff, and hear-say.


- I wont be moving for a few months, but i do plan on visiting a time or 2 before i commit. Anything to look at/for while im there?

Really just any general advice or information youd like to give would be great.
