You're just like me. I also left LA for Seattle but in 2018. Grew up in the (818). The balance of city, mountains, lakes and nature trails is what did it for me. The Pacific Northwest has a healing energy about it if you're not from there. I'm at peace in the area. Plus the optimistic vibe of the young professionals is contagious. I feel like I can do anything in Seattle and thrive. I live on the Eastside now by Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and love it up here.
Definitely going to move to Seattle for some reason I’ve always been drawn to the area, Seattle being the home of my favorite football team is just a plus
@@dystopia8171 Do you have a reading comprehension problem or something? He said he is drawn to the city and the football team is a PLUS. Plus means a positive adding factor to something, not a deciding factor.
I definitely feel the same way I’ve visited Seattle multiple times and lived abroad like Houston and California and Oklahoma but Seattle just stands out to my needs as far as beautiful fresh air nature mountains thriving economy and is also growing in black culture so if your Melanated def gives you room to stand out from the crowd or be open to a lot more opportunities
I've been watching a bunch of videos and house searching in Seattle....I'm from Brooklyn but I love hiking and just being surrounded by nature and water and I wanted somewhere that was still kind of close to the city...I'm hoping to move there by the end of next year
Enjoy the beautiful Summer for sure (September is actually my favorite month in the NW and Seattle) but also, prepare yourself for the gray gloom and drizzle/rain that predominates for basically half of the year! I’m a native Seattleite and lived in sunny So Cal (SD)for 14 years..came back to NW nearly 5 years ago and the winters are still really hard for me to take to the point where I’m “jonesin” to move again!
YEAH!!! I enjoy your videos, so RELAXING. YES more Seattle videos. I've never been, so it's good to see someone like myself expand their horizons. Love that big pillow on your couch 🤎
I lived in Seattle for two wonderful years (2007-2009) and have regretted moving back to the swampy heat of Florida. Will pack up and move back soon!😁😁
This is a great video. You have such a relaxing cool tone. I love Seattle, too. I've lived in Portland my whole life and Seattle is just right next door. I've had a fantasy of moving to Seattle for years. Maybe one day.... It sounds like you really researched the best place to move. Good for you. :)
I heard it rains a lot in Seattle, i Love the rain, that's the main reason I'm thinking about relocating there. Super tired of NY! Thanks for the video
Hi! I stumbled upon your vid and wanted to say I really appreciated your reflection process on LA not meeting your day to day needs. I moved to the Seattle area shortly before the pandemic and love it. I’m consciously trying to make new friends now that things are getting better.
It was good listening to your perspective on Seattle as a fellow Black woman. I moved here last year from Atlanta and it’s different.lol. I live downtown on the waterfront, but wish I would’ve chosen South Lake Union.
Thanks for sharing!! I am also moving from LA to Seattle very soon and super looking forward to it. It's soo good to be close to nature, and it has a good vibe.
Lovely to see you again. One tiny suggestion you have a soft voice always make sure you are closer ti the microphone. Totally understand the move re a better quality of life. Good on you.self care has many levels.
I’m planning on moving to Seattle later this year for my husbands job!! I appreciate this info so much!! would love to connect about your move!! I feel so overwhelmed moving from NY
Yasss! I’m in the PNW too, but I’m in Portland. I’ve been here for a year and a half, now I’m thinking about moving towards the coast. It was between Portland and Seattle for me.
Im from LA living here too. Never thought id be here. Its not bad. I like that theres a lot of newly built housing. And the MFTE program has discounted rental rates based on ur salary. Not a bad city.
Moving to Seattle from Miami the middle of August and that's exactly the apartment type I'm moving into with the closed off sliding doors. Good perspective you're showing in this video.
I’m doing the waking tours now pad mapper ok and I can tell you love it and I’m with it your vibrating super high and I’m loving the energy like happy for you!
Wooo! I'm a Black woman as well, but I grew up in the south and have lived all over the country. I'm currently in NYC, but the Pacific Northwest has been my favorite area to live in *because* of the breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes. I lived in Oregon, but felt an electric feel every time I drove through Washington. Had never spent too much time in Seattle (mostly Tacoma and the countryside outside of Seattle), but my eyes are set on living there next. Thanks for this video. It's nice to know that you've met cool people because I've heard of the Seattle freeze every time I've asked.
That’s funny I’ve wanted to move there since 14 years old oddly and don’t understand why! It’s diffidently 2023. The parking and apartments I moved 6 months later LA just wasn’t poppin for me and I’m back to the thought of success and socially conscious and good economic stable environment and your gorgeous 420! So dope I can’t wait to check it out next year. Hope to meet you and have someone show me around!
Thank you short sweet much needed details I'm getting outta LA too 10 years for me I've been thinking Washington .Atlanta..Colorado anywhere but here LA is and will always be LA💕🦋🦋🦋🙃🤷
I’m watching those walkthrough videos too! Lol now I need to look at the crime rate. I’m thinking about the SLU area. When I move out there I would totally be into meeting up and seeing if we click !
I grew up in the Seattle area and moved to Dallas recently and am moving back to Seattle after 5 months 😂 Seattle is amazing. Texas is highly overrated.
@@moroblueh the landscape is beautiful. Water, trees, hills. So much green, lakes, ocean. The weather is much more mild, doesn’t get too hot or too cold most of the year. There aren’t bugs like there are in the south, no cockroaches, etc. There are cons of course too which is why I left (lack of sunshine, very grey and dark, winters are long, very short Spring and Fall). It’s a very personal thing though, Seattle is nowhere near perfect! I also have family here so I’m biased to stay here.
Yeah I'm moving back to Texas next week. Seattle is a beautiful city and they let these domicile disadvantaged people shoplift commit Petty crimes and literally put all of their trash on the street. And they're smoking all kinds of synthetic drugs and going crazy.
Hey, I was wondering if you’d be okay with sharing the unit you’re in? Me and my boyfriend are moving from California & love your apartment. Thank you 😊
Who paid you to do this video? Seattle is dying. The politics, the lack of police or enforcement of laws, crime, homelessness, skyrocketing housing prices and out of this world rent are killing my home. Lived here 49 years. All my life. hundreds if not thousands of businesses closed. Big businesses fleeing the city. Its obvious you have a substantial amount of money because that apartment your in probably costs more per month than what I make in 6 months. Not hating on your wealth. Just saying that's good because it provides a barrier to all that is fucked up with this city now. You can afford the security needed to stay safe here. Good luck to you, stay safe, stay healthy. But you really should be telling people the truth. Until things get turned around, if they get turned around, I wouldn't recommend that anyone move here.
The issues regarding crime, homelessness, and skyrocketing housing costs are prevalent in most medium and large sized American cities. My big caution over anybody moving here (native east coast person, have lived here 33 years) is the Seattle fault. If it goes off in my lifetime and I survive, I hope the city can get rebuilt otherwise a lot of us will die a slow death from starvation and homelessness.
Thank you for this truth! Best comment on this video. I was born and raised here and can’t flee fast enou. This place has gone to pits thanks to Inslee and his minions. These people don’t even study a candidate or look at policies. It’s like they go through a voting ballet, checking off anything democrat, even if they candidate has shown us they’re no good.
I wish I saw your video before moving here. Since the first day I landed the locals are treat me so bad. They are fake here. They lie a lot and it’s boring. Stores close at 7pm. No kids outside playing. The indoor Apt feels like I live in a hotel. Parking is expensive. Not much resources. They don’t let you merge on the freeway. They keep calling ppl transplant. Like wtf. I hate it here so bad and can honestly say I made a mistake. If you are from CA please for the love of God don’t move to WA.
So if "WEED" was "LEGAL" in Austin you would have moved there? What else about Seattle made you decide you wanted to live in Seattle . . . Just curious.
Hi!! I'm hoping you still check comments. How did you move without driving all your stuff there? I've looked into moving with pods and other moving companies they all say I need to purchase a permit to have a pod in Seattle and was wondering if it's true?
I'm moving to Seattle, I'm a Hairstylist and Singer, Memphis, just looking for a nice reasonable apartment in Seattle so I can thrive with my Hair and Music, would love your input.
