For more details on Seattle’s rain, I do a better job explaining it here - ua-cam.com/video/LvtKMC378Vg/v-deo.html. I think bc it’s been so sunny recently, I didn’t go into much detail about the rain 🙈 Seattle residents, leave your answers to the questions below! 💙💚
Kelly. You video was so accurate and informative. We moved 10 years ago from Orange county to Seattle and love it. The walkability and beauty is amazing. We are baseball and soccer fans so it’s even better. The hiking and water is so peaceful. You described the rain perfectly- I get that question all the time. My family is in California and I enjoy visiting but there is no way I would move back. I love Seattle
I just returned from Seattle last week. You speak of walkability and that's because parking sucks downtown. My hotel parking was $64 per day not to mention all the construction.
@@KellyLira it’s been such a change. We love seeing the seasons change it’s all new to us but also love the fact that we are close to water. We used to live so close to the beach that we had to make sure we lived somewhere we can go out on water and be surrounded by nature.
@@SweetlyJeanette I love it! the seasons really are such a blessing! so beautiful seeing nature change around us and I think each season helps us change too
I'm an LA transplant here as well ✋🏽. You're a local now Kelly, tell people it rains all the time! And don't come here LMAO. Just kidding, it's beautiful here and we love it. Your story about getting a job offer while driving up is just like mine! I was offered a job on the way up while moving. Cheers from Bellevue!
I moved here two years ago from the east coast, didn't know a single person and lived in a micro studio because it was all I could afford! As someone from the east coast the Seattle freeze was very real lmao but I've thankfully acclimated and made great friends. Kelly your vids have definitely been a lifeline then and now!
I feel the same! My husband and I moved here from North Carolina and I did experience the Seattle freeze (according to my husband it was because we're not "West Coast Cool" hahahah)
Born and raised in the area, hearing your perspective is interesting and I enjoyed it. This city used to be much nicer it has changed a ton in the past 10 years I’ll say that. Shoot ever since covid the city has been very different. But I can’t imagine actually living anywhere else but here really. I’m 26 born in Seattle and raised in snohomish county just north.
The number of people in the comments making the move from SoCal to Seattle is insane! Alos, making the move myself in the winter and looking forward to it!
Kelly, I love your videos. You got here before me. I moved 2 years ago from San Francisco so your videos about your own move were super helpful to me during that time. I agree about the Airbnb. I got one for a month to give myself time to explore all the neighborhoods and pick the right one for me. I manage two apartment buildings in Seattle, so as far as rent goes, if people look at the older buildings then the rent is sometimes less expensive. I also own a dog walking and pet sitting business here, and one thing people moving with pets might find interesting is that there are more dogs than children in Seattle and more cats than dogs! Also, I've found meeting people much easier when you have pets. People are always out walking their dogs and it's a great way to make new friends.
I’m glad my videos helped you, Patty! And thank you for all of this input!! Love the tips about older apartments and pets! Our first place was in an older building and dogs are such a good conversation starter, especially at dog parks
Long comment incoming. Adding these into the recruiting one-pager draft. Does it actually rain all the time? -No! I always point back to the amount of rain + days of rain. The grey days are probably the bigger factor weatherwise. Most folks coming from more intense winters do well with the weather. How is the cost of living? -Depends where you come from, but it is a tech-based city after all. Cost of living can be high if you're not used to finding frugal alternatives (roommates, public transpo, etc.) -Affordable housing programs go up pretty high, in 2021 I saw some programs go to almost 6 figures for a single person Do you feel safe? -Safety is relative to each individual, In areas where there's a lot of people, it feels more safe Do you have a car? -Public transpo is better than socal, but it's not up to some other cities (Chicago, NYC, etc.) -Neighborhoods will often have your essentials, but you'll probably want a car to get to other places Did you know anyone before moving? -Just some really cool transplants that would get dinner with me once in a while when I was travelling Does Seattle freeze exist? -Post covid, I think if it does exist, it's greatly diminished. Add that there's so many transplants in Seattle and you get an environment where there's a lot of ppl looking for more connections and friends. This is heavily dependent on the neighborhood you settle in. If it's a priority for you, try cap hill or SLU. Moving tips? -do the abnb route if you can, or a temporary extended stay with a friend, visit the different neighborhoods and find what feels right Is there a perfect time to move? -not quite, but spring & summer moving makes for a great time to transition into Seattle, make friends and get familiar with the city
THE RECRUITING KING! Dude these are all so good. Especially love the callout about the season you move because I definitely go into hibernation mode and don’t socialize as much in the winter 😅 also 100% agree with the note about public transpo and comparing it to other cities. Seattle’s light rail is good for what it is (gets you to airport from downtown and north of downtown) but definitely has room for growth!
+1 on moving in the spring/summer! We moved here in early September because we wanted to experience the last of summer and hold onto that memory to get us through the winter LOL and on picking a place to move to - walk around that neighborhood at night to really get a feel for your safety tolerance! :) Doing things also helps with the friend-making situation. I've never experienced a sense of community (other than like, college friends turned adult friends) until moving here. My husband and I started playing pickleball and the number of friendly people we've met and talk to on a regular basis has grown a lot to the point where we'll bump into them outside of the courts!
@@peeyuh love this and thank you for adding your input too!! September is truly the best month weather-wise, so I’m glad you got to enjoy that before winter! +1 for the tip about walking around at night because it can be a different vibe between night and day in different neighborhoods and that’s so good to hear about your friend-making experience! 🤗🤗 shoutout to pickleball!
@@peeyuh this is exactly the point I try to make when friends come to visit in the summer. At least my experience in capitol hill was that you can visually see all the people in your community and interact with people. As you get to know the community better and make more friends, it starts to feel a lot like back in the dorms
hello kelly, I’m your old subscriber who lives in south korea! This is my first time leave comments. I lived in Seattle just one year it was perfect experience I love seattle and your video always reminds me of that days😭 Pls keep uploading videos until I get back to seattle🥰
this video was super helpful & encouraging! i’m an xray tech so my job is super flexible when it comes to moving & my boyfriend is getting his hvac license at the end of this year; we’re planning to move to seattle next year in the summer & we’re nervous but so excited! we’re also moving from southern california :)
I just got back from a whirlwind trip visiting Amsterdam, Paris and New York City (New York is not new to me, was just visiting friends and I used to live on the East Coast). I have to say there seems to be a lot of videos on UA-cam on moving to Paris or living in France, and i’m guessing more videos than moving to/living in Seattle. I’ll have to say, having grown up in Central Washington, having lived in the Bay Area in my early 20’s, living in CT for grad school and seeing most of the major cities in the US and just coming back from Europe, i have not encountered a city as perfect for me as Seattle is. Of course i loved Amsterdam (the nicest people there) and Paris and Loire valley are just stunning, but I love, like what you say, the perfect mix of nature and city that you get in Seattle that you won’t get outside of the Pacific Northwest. I love that if i need to I can get away from people and have space (something you can’t do in a lot of the major cities i just mentioned), i can do that. I’m a runner and there are trails here i can run on. In Paris the poor runners have to run through these throngs of tourists (if you know of quieter places to run in Paris let me know). I love the green. I love the mild climate. I play soccer here and love my soccer community. I love being outdoors and being active a lot. I love not having to worry about my fashion and being judged for what I’m wearing - i appreciate the practicality of the people here.
I've been wanting to take the leap! Applied to a couple of jobs, no luck yet as my area of work is super competitive in the coastal areas but will keep trying. I've been to the Seattle area 5x already and it has been so wonderful exploring everything!
I’m moving to Seattle for a job post grad this February and I’m so nervous! I’ve only interned there over the summer so this was really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I've been thinking about taking the leap for 10 years. 😂 It has been difficult due to finances and family issues, but I finally went back to college and am now into my career. My goal is to be out there within the next 2 years.
I am currently getting everything together for my move to Seattle at the end of the month from LA. I’m so excited for it for the city nature balance. Luckily I found out a couple of my friends from high school are living up there. I was also able to find a MFTE apartment which really helps with the rent.
This video was very helpful Kelly! I am hoping to move to Seattle in August! I have been living in Southern California for seven years, and have been wanting a change. I visited Seattle in March and fell in love with it. I'm also happy to hear about the walkability. I don't have a car, and have managed in LA without one... but I would prefer a place that's more pedestrian friendly!
This video was super helpful! I'm planning on moving to Seattle next year from SoCal too so it's been kinda rough figuring it out but this definitely helped!
kelly i move to seattle this thursday (finally!) and ive been watching your vids for a while and honestly they've helped me decide a lot on moving there. this vid was great btw
I moved here after graduating college from the Midwest and have been here for about a year now! Currently loving the new experience. Recently got a 2 bedroom near the Columbia city/Rainier Valley neighborhood. Hope to make a video about it soon!
Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for these videos! My boyfriend and I plan to move to WA in 2024 and these videos have been so much help! We are coming from FL and are a little intimidated about the winter but were ready!!
🥰Thanks Kelly this video footage is super helpful & I really enjoy it. Love & miss Gasworks park such beautiful views of the city. Seattle does give a balance of both city & nature.
Very, very helpful! I think you said you had a month to explore and find what you liked best? What about someone with less time scouting Seattle? Would three days of touring give someone a good idea of the vibe/neighborhood they're looking for? Anyone please feel free to answer!
I'm planning on moving to Seattle in September! I'm so excited, but not sure how I'll make friends since I'll know zero people haha. Looking forward to it thoo :)
I honestly fell in-love with Seattle when I visited for the first time in 2018! how do the ferries work? LOL I want to visit Bremerton! (looking into moving there in the future)
On Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) website, you can find the ferry schedule for various routes - wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/default.aspx What we’ve done is if we are driving onto the ferry, arrive early before departure to wait in line, buy a ticket, and then load onto the ferry. Then once you’re on the ferry, you can leave your car and go to the passenger deck and sit inside or outside. You can also go on the ferry with a bicycle or motorcycle or go as a pedestrian. Here is WSDOT’s first time rider’s guide for more info - wsdot.wa.gov/travel/washington-state-ferries/rider-information/first-time-riders
I'm always amazed by average rent prices. You would think studio apartments wouldn't be very popular with the crowd paying over 1500 a month and that they'd opt for a 1 bedroom, of which there are quite a few around Seattle at that price point. And yet, the average remains. Of course, there are other factors to consider in a studio apartment, like neighborhood, size, building quality, amenities - but still. There seem to be enough 1-beds under 1580 you'd think the studio average would be lower. Plus, I know a good share of people in Seattle paying around 1000 for a studio. So who are all these people paying 2000 for a studio that offset them?
Hii! I am moving to Seattle this year and I am looking for apartments, which neighbourhoods would you recommend for a 24 year old? I love your videos!!!🤍
Is Seattle better than Bellevue ? I also live in suburbs and I am from Baja California Sur , Mexico but I lived in Pennsylvania for 6 years and I got used to the cold, rain and humid . Now I am in Colorado but the extreme dry weather is affecting me .
Nobody really talks about no state income tax. Coming from SF I think that is a detail nobody really talks about. Las Vegas always advertises it. Idk why nobody speaks on that. I think that’s a plus living in SF.
Do not stay downtown and def not at night! This video is coming from a 4 year resident. I’ve been here since ‘96. Downtown is the pits. Crime is def a real problem here. Lots of drug Addicts , homeless.
Used to be a wonderful place till it was, like so many other cities, Californicated. The only people who think it isn't in a nosedive are people from California, as is beautifully demonstrated by the comments. As a native who has lived elsewhere and returned, it's a shame that spores that ruined their original state have spread here and without irony or awareness, are aggressively pursuing the exact same attitude and policy to the new victim. Seattle isn't the only place being destroyed by Californian idiocy and arrogance.
It is Crazy expensive! Crowded, horrible traffic, smoky summers, crime. Rents are very high! Don’t expect to get into ‘ affordable housing’ like this video states. There are years long waitlists. Gas alone is extremely expensive- the highest in the nation. It’s a fun place for sure, but it’s gentrified and only for the wealthy.
And I've Been To Seattle I Was Down There On The Pier By Lumen Field And T Mobile Ball Park! I Made Like $1,500 On The Pier Panhandling As A Homeless!1💯💯💯

make longer vids kelly. also maybe make a seattle foods video? you could show places to eat that arent at pike place market that arent rlly known?
LOVE this idea. was at pike place today and thought about this while there. maybe a future vid? stay tuned 🤭
Thank you for the great video ! Seattle is my perfect place , I love to live this awesome city .
Another amazing video!!! 🤩 I enjoy watching them so much ☺️
This is awesome this is why I'm moving there I can't wait
Love this!!

Nicely presented video.
I probably been playing too much video games but the water doesnt looks real. Anyways good video.
There's no WA state income tax?! 😲 I can't wait to visit WA next year to see how it's like. 🙂
Idk were from So Cal you are from, but I remember in LA everyone basically ignored each-other. Do people in Seattle do that too?
Thank you❤
What about moving from Europe?
Nobody really talks about no state income tax. Coming from SF I think that is a detail nobody really talks about. Las Vegas always advertises it. Idk why nobody speaks on that. I think that’s a plus living in SF.
Beauteful play
first!

Where is a safe place to stay downtown that’s walkable for a tourist?
Do not stay downtown and def not at night! This video is coming from a 4 year resident. I’ve been here since ‘96. Downtown is the pits. Crime is def a real problem here. Lots of drug Addicts , homeless.
noelleeeeey
baby girlieeee 🩷
I have two big problems with seattle, it's always gloomy + the food is terrible 😅
Used to be a wonderful place till it was, like so many other cities, Californicated. The only people who think it isn't in a nosedive are people from California, as is beautifully demonstrated by the comments. As a native who has lived elsewhere and returned, it's a shame that spores that ruined their original state have spread here and without irony or awareness, are aggressively pursuing the exact same attitude and policy to the new victim. Seattle isn't the only place being destroyed by Californian idiocy and arrogance.
stop telling people our secrets.
No, don't move here. I live just to the left of off camera. And i grew up there. This place sucks. Heed my warning.
Leave your negativity somewhere else. Unless you’re trying to scare the transplants then yes don’t move here 🙏🏽
Don’t move here it’s full 😂
It is Crazy expensive! Crowded, horrible traffic, smoky summers, crime. Rents are very high! Don’t expect to get into ‘ affordable housing’ like this video states. There are years long waitlists.
Gas alone is extremely expensive- the highest in the nation.
It’s a fun place for sure, but it’s gentrified and only for the wealthy.
And I've Been To Seattle I Was Down There On The Pier By Lumen Field And T Mobile Ball Park! I Made Like $1,500 On The Pier Panhandling As A Homeless!1💯💯💯
