El Patio on the corner of 97th and Aurora is to die for. It's Honduran, and I've never had such good food in my life. If you're not a Honduran immigrant, you'll be the only non-Honduran immigrant in the place. That's how secret it is. So, so good!!!
I enjoy your videos but you missed the mark on this one. I've lived in Loyal Heights and now Ballard core for 20 years, the real challenges are 1) travelling east-west 2) noise from people partying or in crisis 3) parking 4) sky high rent or home prices. Keep the videos coming.
Great explanations for all of the places you mentioned! Most of them held up to my knowledge of the area! However, there are a few things that stood out to me. You know that Medina isn't in Seattle right? Also, you forgot to add the benefit of Discovery Park to Magnolia! Something else that matters...Broadmoor is nowhere near Ballard or on the way to Shoreline! You might want to look at a map before you state things like that! Otherwise it's a good overview! Laurelhurst, Madison Park, Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Windermere and Eastlake are all on point!
Yeah- as mentioned in other comments. I got my wires crossed when talking about Broodmoor and for some reason started talking about the seattle golf club in shoreline 🤷♂️ Decided to post the video anyway.
When I visit the Pike Place Market (been a long time), I drop by "The Crumpet Shop" for a Cucumber and Salmon spread crumpet. ;-) For a fun read about Seattle's history, get the "Son of the Profits". ;-D
Appreciate your bit about gentrification. Its inevitable in late state capitalism, just a symptom of rising inequality...shows up as wealth density and displacement... tough subject, approached casually, honestly. Bravo!
@@LivingandmovingtoSeattle Medina isn't part of Seattle.. It's another city. If you're going to go outside the city limits you should have included The Highlands.. Now THAT's a wealthy neighborhood.
I commute to and from Ballard for work everyday. It's literally the worst divers in the city. 3 lane changes turning left from the inside lane. Nobody knows what yield means. Every single lane that turns into 3 lanes even if its turn only gets people merging in at the last min.It's the most non giving a F area of Seattle. This is why Ballard has been known for the worst drivers even since the days when it was an on going joke on the show "almost live". Because its the truth. Just look up on yt "almost live Ballard driving school" to see my point.
I straight up can’t drive in this city. Drivers are so stuck up and selfish in this city it’s crazy. I mainly reside in Oregon but have to head up to Seattle for a couple months each year and I can say there’s a BIG difference in the way the drivers behave. Oregon drivers are very open to letting people go before they themselves go, but for Seattle it’s got the “I go first or no one goes at all” mentality and it sucks..
Man, I just lost all respect for your opinions when you said Bryn Mawr is the safest and most affordable in South Seattle? That's utter lies brother. Bryn Mawr is full of crimes just being situated next to Skyway, and in no way being affordable like you said. Fact is fact and you just did a big dishonest on this one.
I get it - Totally understand where you're coming from. Like I said in the beginning, 'affordable' and 'Safest' don't always go hand in hand - and it's especially difficult in the city - even though Technically Bryn Mawr is a suburb and not actually in the city of Seattle. I could have said 'Columbia City' - but that's less affordable... I could have said 'Allentown' I guess. I haven't looked at the numbers recently. But I can tell you when it comes to Seattle... What price points are 'affordable.' Affordability really depends on the viewer. I hear people tell me that Ballard isn't safe... I hear people say Sand Point, Belltown, CapHill, LQA, Central and even First Hill aren't safe... And to a degree, they all have their good and bad parts. All that said - when I look up my old notes with the data - here's what I find: "Bryn Mawr-Skyway, also known as 98178, is considered Seattle's second safest neighborhood, with violent crime 12% lower than the national average." ( Wish I would have kept the source for you, but that's what I found in my old notes - Keep in mind, this video is a year old too). Appreciate you popping in though and dropping a comment. This topic definitely needs an updated video. PS: I'm nearly Positive in this video I meant to also mention Lakeridge - but again, I get what you mean.
Best place is to not raise kids in Seattle. But if you have to and you have the money, Factoria, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah or Snohomish are going to be your best bet if you can afford it. If you're moving here to raise a family, you'd be better of in another town and not a big city on the west coast! I know you're just trying to get contacts to hopefully sell a house so sorry to write this!
But if you were... to raise kids in Seattle. These are the best spots. Obvously not for everyone. The spots you mentioned are all good Cities as well - But people need to understand that those are wholly and completely different Cities, not neighborhoods in Seattle. But totally understand what you are saying, Seattle isn't for everyone.
I’m thinking of moving to Seattle uptown without a car. Is it walkable? It looks like it on maps but no idea the hills. I would stay mostly in uptown or to the water.
Nice - Uptown / Lower Queen Anne is an awesome area. Very Hilly though. LQA isn't the highest part of the hill, but it still has significant elevation compared to the water. You could definitely do it without a car. The Bus system is pretty good in LQA. (Uptown is what it says on the map and neighborhood council, but everyone calls it Lower Queen Anne, LQA for short 🤙)
There's an awesome par-3 golf course at Green lake as well. Super fun, great vibes. You should do a video about Beacon Hill. Not the most picturesque, but lots good culture and community.
Yeah - I play there a few times a summer. Great spot. I actually did a video there a while back and got a lot of comments from people who thought I was giving away their secret spot 😂
Dude I really enjoyed that video. I've always wanted to live in Queen Anne but Washington is such an expensive place to live right now. Thanks for the overview though, a man can dream.
@chefnyc 1 second ago I moved out of Redmond 15 years ago. Car dependent suburb with dark clouds 2000ft above (even if it’s not raining). Tried to take the bus once because rear wheel drive car didn’t like the snow. I felt like naked while walking from bus stop to the office. Also regarding car dependency: You either drive to a restaurant or eat at MSFT cafeteria. Both yikes!
Just saw your other comment. Where is the job specifically? Feel free to call or book time on my calendar, happy to point you in the right direction. 📲 Call or Text: (206) 424-9497 📅 ”In-Person” call.justingazabat.com
Hey - Where exactly is your Job located? Town/ City? Glad to help and point you in the right direction. The reason I ask is I've had a lot of people reach out who are taking work near Seattle, but it's really Kirkland, or Tacoma, Lacy etc. All the Seattle metro area - but makes a big difference on your commute.
I plan on moving there as soon as I graduate... even with a tech job, I'm going to have to live like a monk to scrape up enough for one of the houses there

Little old Lake City, only twenty minutes away. "Lake City is the northeast region of Seattle, centered along Lake City Way NE, 7-8 miles northeast of Downtown Seattle. A broader definition of the Lake City area includes all the land between 15th Avenue NE and Lake Washington, and between NE 95th and 98th streets to the Seattle city limits at NE 145th Street. Wikipedia Zip Code: 98125
One option I haven't seen discussed is living at a Marina in a boat. There are a lot of options for that kind of thing in the Seattle area, probably because there is so much water around the city and its fairly adjacent area, You might want to look at Nickerson Marina very close to the Ballard Bridge. And you can joke about knickers on marina. Another option where my sister in law lived is Vashon Island, a ferry ride away from West Seattle.
Liveaboard is tough. Not many slips available. Shilshole has long waits for live aboard moorage. You can view the options scrolling to the bottom here: www.portseattle.org/page/services-amenities-and-rates-monthly-moorage
