A Practical Guide for Your Move to Seattle

If you're moving to Seattle, you'll probably be relieved to know that most Seattle residents aren't sleepless. You'll probably also be thrilled to know that despite the weather conditions portrayed in Grey's Anatomy, most of Seattle's rain comes by way of drizzle, not via heavy downpours. In fact, if you're moving to Seattle, there are probably many things you don't know about this interesting city. Prepare for your move to Seattle by studying the information below:

• Seattle has the highest percentage of residents with a college degree or higher. It's not entirely surprising then that the Seattle Public Library system has the highest number of card-holders per capita than any other city in the United States.
• Seattle is the home to the world's first gas station, which opened in 1907. Today, gas prices in the Seattle area are about $3.89/gallon.
• Seattle's lowest recorded temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit, while the hottest temperature recorded was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The average daily temperature is a pleasant 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Celebrities who used to live in Seattle include: Apollo Anton Ohno, Kenny G and Jimi Hendrix.
• Seattle's LBGT community is only slightly smaller than the parallel community in San Francisco.
• The average cost of a home in Seattle is about $422,000. Fortunately, there's no need to purchase a home immediately upon moving to Seattle. You can rent a house, townhouse, condo or apartment for a rather reasonable fee until you decide exactly which neighborhood you want to settle down in.
• Seattle's cost of living is about 31% higher than the national average cost of living. You'll hopefully be happy to know that living in Seattle is still not quite as expensive as living in New York City or Los Angeles.
• Seattle's Pike Place Market is a 9 acre shopping plaza that offers fresh produce, fish, eateries, galleries and shops. Not only can you find nearly everything you need at Pike Place Market, but you can enjoy countless hours of strolling and experiencing all that the area has to offer.
• Seattle hosts the headquarters of six Fortune 500 companies including Starbucks, Amazon and Nordstrom.
• Microsoft employs nearly 35,000 people in the Seattle area.
• Seattle is geographically closer to Asia than Mexico (that's great news if you're looking to go on an exotic vacation at some point after you move to Seattle!).
• There are dozens of affordable Seattle moving companies. Choose one that is familiar with your new neighborhood to ensure a smooth and successful relocation.
