Our top moving tips when moving to Seattle
Seattle has a reputation for being moister than most with more rainy days than NYC on average. However, that doesn’t translate to more rainfall overall. The precipitation is typically misty, so Seattlites can get away with a good raincoat rather than needing an umbrella day-to-day.
Despite the rainy rep, this Pacific Northwest hub has some beautiful summer weather. Warm and dry weather is what you’ll experience in July and August, with temps that rarely peak beyond 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rain or shine, you’ll enjoy this lush and green locale with over 750,000 residents in its roughly 84 square miles of city. There’s a lot of ground to cover when it comes to Seattle, so here’s some more info to fortify your move:
- A growing and green city. Seattle continues to experience population growth. In the past year, the residency grew by about 8,400 folks (so keep an eye on the traffic). A modest increase in comparison to other years, but it has contributed to more than a 50 percent increase in the metro area’s growth overall (which includes King County where the city is located, along with Snohomish and Pierce counties). Ranked #19 in the 150 best places to live by US News & World Report, many enjoy the calming greenspaces and outdoor activities that the area has to offer. Within an hour’s drive outside of the city limits, there’s skiing, hiking, and wineries to enjoy.
- Must love dogs. This Pacific Northwest hub is a pup-friendly location. It’s among the top 20 cities in the country for pet-friendliness, recently ranking #11 in outdoor pet-friendliness specifically. Depending on where you work, every day may be “bring your dog to work” day at several dog-friendly companies in the city. If you’re bringing along a canine companion with you on your move, you and Fido will have your choice of activities to enjoy together from breweries, famer’s markets, and off-leash dog parks. While dogs can accompany you on public transit, it’s good to know though that your pup must be leashed and cannot claim its own seat. Small dogs that can fit in your lap ride for free, larger breeds may be required to pay full fares to ride through the city.
- A tech-heavy job market. Seattle is home to a number of large technology companies, including Amazon, Boeing, and Microsoft. Google, Apple, Facebook, and Adobe are among some of the recent transplants. The growth in the tech job market has boomed in the Emerald City, boasting a 35% increase to just under 50,000 jobs in the tech field from 2016 to 2020. Folks with a tech degree are flocking to Seattle as one of the industry hubs as well. That said, they may not have to commute to the office; work-from-home set ups are becoming increasingly more common in the area. New ideas are popping up and the city has also been identified as a place where start-ups flourish. In 2020, they brought in billions in venture capital to fund work in a number of fields, such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, and gaming.
- Cost of living. Making your move west may cost you just a bit less than living in NYC. Buying a house in the metro area averaged about $778,500 in 2020. Rent costs won’t have you flinching as a big city dweller, ranging from $1,500 for a studio to over $3,000 for a rental house. While car traffic in the city is expected with the booming population growth, there are public transportation options by bus, train, and ferry. Fares for adults are $2.75 per single ride and putting money on an ORCA card will allow you to pay fares on any method of commuting easily. When it comes to taxes, Seattleites don’t pay personal or corporate income taxes. However, retail sales tax is high at about 10.1%; the funds support public transportation, mental health services, programs that benefit children and families, among others.
- Sips and sights. Seattle really has a taste of everything, from libations to landmarks. The city is known for its brews — particularly of the coffee and beer variety. Recognized the world over as the home of Starbucks, there’s a whole culture of coffee to explore within the city. With over 70 percent of the country’s hops grown in the state, Seattle can also serve up a frothy pint with the best of ‘em. The city boasts neighborhoods full of breweries. Many are within walking distance of each other, so it’s a great opportunity to partake in some tastings on foot. After getting your fill of your favorite beverage, you won’t have to go far to take in some sites. You can take a seat with the Kurt Cobain benches, the unofficial memorial site in Viretta Park. Or, you can get a taste of the local scenery with some urban foraging at Beacon food forest in the North Beacon Hill Area. If a giggle is your thing, tickle your funny bone with a tour through Archie McPhee’s Rubber Chicken Museum — home of the world’s largest rubber chicken! Whatever you’re looking for in your new home, you’ll find it in Seattle.
