Review of Seattle, Washington


great place to live, but very expensive
Star Rating - 5/28/2022
if you can afford it, Seattle is a very nice place to live and raise a family! however, it is extremely expensive and in the winter, it's rather gloomy. i love gloomy weather, but most of you might not. Seattle is easily one of the best cities in America in my opinion. i'm from Denver, Colorado and i've lived in Seattle for 10 years before, i would love to go back! this city is wonderful with plenty of great food, good culture, amazing schools, outstanding water quality, good air quality, very low crime compared to 90% of cities in America, and is overall an amazing place. i will admit, it's expensive and rather overpopulated, but what city doesn't have those problems?

Overpopulated seems to be the main problem, too many people here already, roads are congested, no space to built housing since Seattle has water on one side and mountains on the other. Only a limited amount of buildable land and it's already built on so no room left for more people. Realize that if you move here you are entering a highly competitive, crowded and expensive area. It was overpopulated 20 years ago and only getting worse.
