Review of Seattle, Washington


Compromises
Star Rating - 2/14/2017
DONT COME HERE. You will not be able to find an apartment and you will be homeless. Minimum wage is $15 but you will live on the street. There is rental discrimination here, landlords only want to rent to tenants who are single and work for Google or Facebook. The job market is overflowing but the housing crisis is detrimental. City officials have taken care of the issue by creating tent encampments. So they basically don't care. The middle and lower class of become completely displaced by the over-gentrification of the city. Do not move to Seattle expecting to LIVE in Seattle. You will most likely be living in Auburn, Renton, or Tacoma, there you can have a decent living situation, just have a car. Average commute times are atleast an hour.
