Hi all,
It is likely that my wife and I will be relocating from sunny Jacksonville, FL to the Seattle area this August. I figured I would ask you all for your opinions on where to look for a place to live (or more to the point, where NOT to live).
I'm not a stranger to the area, but I wouldn't say I'm familiar either. I've been there twice in the last 18 months, but only 4 times total in my life. I like the area in and around Seattle-proper, but I don't think I want to live there. It's way too left-leaning for me. The areas that I've seen and liked were Bothell (the nice people who gave me a non-res WA CPL, and even mailed it to me in FL), Edmunds, Bellevue, and parts of Renton and Kent.
Any advice you all could give me on where to avoid, and any other helpful info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
