Advice needed from Seattle members

Well it all depends on what kind of place your looking for, and how much you have to spend $$$ most of the homes around Seattle are expensive even with the bad economy. Bellevue, Redmond, & Kirkland are all nice areas and are close enough still to not be to bad of a commute. But those areas can be expensive. Issaquah and Nord Bend are beautiful and get you out away from the city but they are still a straight shot back in on I90. Also expensive by most peoples budgets. Don’t want offend anyone by saying stay out of one city or another but I’ve always heard people complain about the air traffic noise around Seatac Airport & Boeing Field so you might want to stay away from the south west part of Seattle (Burien, Renton, Des Moines) That’s not to say there isn’t nice places in those areas just a lot air traffic. I heard good things from people who live in West Seattle but it is right in line with the airports to. To far south and you will have long long bumper to bumper commutes to look forward to. I spent a number of years driving a delivery truck all over Seattle and the Eastside (Bellevue, Kirkland, & Redmond) and it can be a challenging commute at times. You have about 6 million people in King county and every dam one of them has a car or 2 …… LOL But hey I got the hell out a year & a half ago and moved over to the east side of the state. No traffic and sun for 300 plus days of the year. I’m sure you will be able to find something that fits your needs. Good luck!
