Has anyone currently in Seattle lived in Atlanta ? I'm looking for a first hand comparison of the two cities , before considering job opportunities in Seattle. Will make a trip too, but thoughts?

🖐🏻 I like it in Seattle. Moved here from Atlanta a year ago. Used to love in sandy springs when I was in Atlanta. Living in Capitol Hill in Seattle now.
Summers were amazing - highest I have experienced was about 82f I think. But, it’s already pretty chilly now and feels like end of fall weather.
Lots of outdoorsy things to do.
Renting is not significantly expensive than Atlanta (May be 20% premium compared to sandy springs), but you get smaller sqft apartments. Parking makes it expensive (most apartments charge $230 per month).

Wow -$230 extra for parking in addition to rent ? How is the road infrastructure in Seattle in comparison to Atlanta?

And yeah - parking is in addition to rent. You might get away with that by street parking or renting a condo/ sfh that has parking included - but if you live downtown Seattle or Bellevue, that’s hard.

Hey did you make a trip? I’m moving to Seattle from Atlanta and wanted to get your thoughts!

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx
