Ballard, Fremont and Greenlake are good options if you don’t want to deal with the traffic downtown. The first two also have a younger population and larger pool of single folks (I’m assuming you’re not married or have kids). I’d budget low $2k for rent and another $150 for parking.

Odin Apartments. I’m there and the property management team is pretty awesome. Also a lot more secure than a lot of the buildings in Ballard - have not heard any issues with garage break-ins unlike a lot of the places in the area.

That’s a lot of money for Seattle

So.. any takers on the original question? 😄
