Going to be starting an internship at Amazon in September in the Seattle office, wondering if I should look for housing in Bellevue and take the Amazon shuttles to the Seattle office or look for housing in SLU (or more north)? How convenient are the shuttles? Mainly concerned about safety and heard Bellevue is a lot safer. If anyone has experience with this please let me know! TC: 0 #amazon #seattle
SLU is one of the few livable areas in Seattle. If you’re okay with an apartment then move there and save yourself an hour of commuting per day.
Anywhere but a blue city.
Seattle over Bellevue by a mile, although SLU is one of the lamer in town neighborhoods. You're too young to live someplace that sucks
Contact your manager and ask. There is a very very good chance you do not need to move at all. Ask your manager if it’s acceptable to WFH(I.e your permanent address)
Neither, both cities suck if you’re a young male lol
Cheaper rent in Bellevue but not as exciting. Stay away from downtown Seattle, it's a bit of a mess with homelessness and drug addicts. If you can look out to the mountains or water, I'd prioritize that, especially if you enjoy outdoor or on-water activities.
Thats not true, bellevue is more expensive
Depends on what type of place you're looking at I guess.
Don't even bother with Bellevue as you are so young. Take Seattle downtown, go to pubs, and events nearby, have fun.
Lol TIL getting killed by a homeless drug ghoul is appealing to “young people” 😂 go to Bellevue OP unless you want to die.
Stop fear mongering and get out of your burb in a while’
Seattle / SLU is what you will want to do as its much closer / you have more optiosn to get to work and you will more outside social opportunites ...if youi have no interest in the social aspect of the area - then Bellevue is an OK choice too ...assuming the internship is short term - this shouldnt be a decsion you spend too much time with as you can always get a new apartment once lease expires
Seattle if you’re young
This
SLU is pretty safe and fun. Bellevue is boring af only for retirees
