Jess,
Good to hear from you man, I was also 23 when I went to Seattle and it's a great place to be. Has to be one of the most pedestrian / bike friendly places around and believe it or not the public transportation is pretty good - and the local seafood is even better!

I agree with the above review that Capitol Hill, or the University District (U-District) is going to be an awesome place to get your bearings, find an apartment / roommate and just get settled in. Both locations are close to pretty much everything you could imagine and then some.

I consider the people to be pretty approachable, and if you're into the pub scene Seattle has an outstanding selection of bars and live music just about every night of the week. You can almost sense a strong alternative / grunge presence in the music here after dark but any genre is up for grabs.

Give it a shot and don't look back man, best of luck!

it's great - and if you live close enough to the city-core, you don't need a car either! i just use the bus & a bicycle.

it rains some, but it's usually light rain anyway - and the summers are nice, not super-hot.

i suggest either capitol hill or the u-dist as far as living areas. best of luck!

Except for the traffic....the best in the USA.

It's great!!! If you like farmland, rain every second of your life, and the occasional earthquake. Word of advice: Stay as close to the space needle as you can. The farther you get from seattle the more depressed you'll become.

Expensive,expensive, expensive. I love Seattle more than any other city in america but it is damn expensive
