Posts to reference if you're thinking of moving here

Since we started our blog, it has been viewed almost 100,000 times, it's gotten dozens of comments from people interested in moving, and we've received several emails from people planning their move to Seattle.

It's been fun for us to write this blog, but I get the feeling that it's been really helpful for others. It's actually not that uncommon for people to want to move from one part of the country to the other, and Seattle is a popular destination. If you are thinking about or planning to move to Seattle, here are some of the posts we've written that I think are most helpful:

• Cost of Living in Seattle - It is more expensive here than many parts of the country and here's an overview of the differences for us.


• How we chose Seattle - Explains the process we went through to find Seattle - this may be helpful for people looking for their place in the world.


• How to Move to Seattle - Step-by-step guidance on how to move here based on our experience.

There is also a lot of information scattered across the posts we've written. Some specific labels that may be helpful include:
