firecatA friend of mine and her husband are moving to Seattle very soon, and she wrote me with the following questions:
What are likely neighborhoods to rent a house that feel city-like and that are a reasonable commute to Redmond, where her husband will be working? (My friend doesn't drive, so someplace that's within a few blocks of a shopping/eating area would be best.)
A comfy hotel in the $125/night range, preferably within walking distance of a sushi bar.
Info about the East Side: She writes: "I'm wondering if any of the towns over there would be agreeable. (Bellevue, Kirkland, etc.) I don't want to be out in the boonies, since I can't drive to get anywhere, and I'm hoping to avoid suburbs."

Date: 5 Apr 2005 05:16 am (UTC)The Eastside is also known as the Red State side, to Seattle's blue. Though like anything else, it's not true for all of it, as there are "pockets of (liberal) resistance" within, with rumor of becoming a swing district in a few years. Definitely not citylike though.
Can't help you for sushi on the Eastside, though can for Seattle proper. And other types of restaurants and general food related things as well, if they're interested. I graduate culinary school in June.
