I will be joining Amazon in Seattle on Nov 4. Chose the lump sum relocation package since I don't have much stuff to move. I have been looking for 1 bedroom apartment in the range of 1800-1900. With this budget I think I have to stay a little outside Seattle downtown like Fremont, Upper Queen Anne, Ballard, Columbia City or even in Bellevue. How is the commute from Amazon Shuttles from these places? Are the buses always full or on waitlist? I do have a car but I don't think I will be getting a parking at office building (Blueshift) right away. I am married but no kids. I will appreciate any suggestions or experience 🙂 .
You still have time. Cancel your tickets, ask the banana providers to move you to some other city. There’s still time my friend...
I checked but recruiter said no about change in location.
Good thing you are married. Otherwise Seattle is mostly BYOG (Bring Your Own Girl).
Seattle do suck I have witnessed.. Its the city, if you can should be avoided
I’m starting the same day. See you at NHO!
Cool! Where are you staying? Corporate housing?
Got a one bedroom in Belltown
With that budget you can still stay in SLU. You just have to look harder. Try to get the new buildings usually they give a month or two for free.
What about Belltown, Lower Queen Anne? Are they good & safe?
How did the move go? Where did u decide to live
Close to work Kirkland, want night life? Bellevue
Bellevue? For night life? This is only true if you are in your late 50s. Night life shit is University Village/mont lake/Kirkland
