Looking at working at Google kirkland. Where do you all live? I'm married and have a couple dogs, so will probably have to buy a house with a bit of a yard. TC 400k
This might be a shocker, but they probably live in Kirkland.
There was a rumor that Google Kirkland will be relocated to Downtown Bellevue pretty soon.
Did you already got a Google offer?
Past HC, so far at team matching has been thumbs up from hiring manager. Still negotiating comp so no actual offer yet.
Houghton (south Kirkland, north Bellevue, zip 98033) Very clean and residential area, no homeless, great beach, walking distance to Google, 7 minutes to Microsoft and 5 minutes to downtown Bellevue (in case you change jobs). There are many new houses being built or just got built in Houghton. Opposite to hour house, they just built a new one sold for $3.5M.
98033 is the best and still relatively affordable place you can buy real estate in Seattle area. Look somewhere south of Totem lake, between Google and Oculus.
I love 98033. If that’s considered affordable, what zip code in Kirkland do you consider not affordable?
Waterfront isn’t affordable of course, but if you set notifications and filter by SFH no HOA, 3+ bd, over 1500 sqft with a garage and around 1M, you can still find some good deals eg in Rose Hill or close. At least, they appear time to time. For example https://www.redfin.com/WA/Kirkland/12716-NE-94th-Ct-98033/home/511402
I know a great real estate agent team that has helped colleagues with buying / selling a home on the eastside. Pm me if interested in an intro.
98053
How are school in Kirkland and bothell? No one seems to enlist this criteria . Has recent down turn giving some discounts in these area?
Most of Kirkland is part of Lake Washington School District, which is excellent. Bothell would be Northshore I think, which I also heard is good but not as good as LWSD.
