Yeah buddy! My wife and I live in Seattle. I was more comfortable in Florida panhandle @$160k than here in Seattle @ $305k. The East side is expensive, that’s where the tech bros live. Im currently downtown because we never had a chance to live in a major metropolitan area. I have a 2 bed, 2 bath apt, 2 car parking and a store unit with all my crap from my Florida house, it runs me $5000 a month. We just upgraded from a 1 bed plus den that was around $3800. South Seattle is cheap so is way north. Expect 45 mins of traffic to get anywhere
