Staying within semis found a job in Kirkland that pays more base and has better vesting RSU schedule than current company. Ideally better WLB is what I’m after and to get out of the AZ heat. I understand it’s technically a pay cut due to LCOL In AZ vs HCOL in Seattle/Kirkland but where are some affordable places to live around the area that I should look into? YOE - 6 yrs TC - 150k New TC - 220k
Which company are you moving to? Are you ready for rain?
Kirkland, especially downtown, is great. It’s my favorite place in the Seattle area. But it’s expensive. Used to rent in downtown Kirkland but moved to Bothell to buy a house. If you want to stay close to DT Kirkland check out Bothell, Woodinville, and Redmond.
I personally will try to keep it under 1500 a month; check out Zillow. Downtown bothell, woodinville and Kirkland are all good https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/12423-NE-143rd-St-F8A78D117-Kirkland-WA-98034/2066695712_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/19042-104th-Ave-NE-1A-Bothell-WA-98011/2068586130_zpid/ The problem with these units are they are highly sought after… so…you literally need to be on top of your game. And literally apply the moment it comes on.
renting ? buying ? budget? likes / dislikes ? demographic( married / single etc..)
Renting, ideally 2-3k, outdoor activities, with gf maybe getting married soon, two dogs. Will probably buy in about two years or so
Thanks ! 2-3 k per month should allow rent for apartment on eastside …. You might consider Issaquah /north bend as it’s closer to the mtns and still close to Kirkland
Bothell has newer apartments/homes than old hot cities like Kirkland, Redmond etc…

Bothell is close and better deal than Kirkland
What is the rent expectation?
bothell is not better. Please stop pumping the South Indian RE market. How much you like Bothell is somewhat dependent on your ethnicity
