I’m considering applying for a Google job that has openings in Seattle and Kirkland. Given the choice, which location should I request?
I know they’re very close to each other, but how do they compare in housing, transit, safety, facilities, etc?
Want to see the real deal?

Kirkland is good schools and houses and driving.
Seattle (slu) is night life and apartments and public transport
@coniza Yes there are buses that link from a few suburbs and places within Seattle. The served areas are similar to the Microsoft and Amazon buses.
From an office perspective, I like the SLU offices more than Kirkland. I prefer concentrated urban offices over a spread-out two-story suburban campus. YMMV.
All in they're both considered SEA, so once you hit team match just see what teams reach out. I'd be more concerned about my team's work aligning with my interests and goals than which of the two offices to choose from.
