Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking long and hard about relocating to Seattle, WA. What’s the job market like there? Specifically in Supply Chain. I have 5 years of experience and I process a bachelor’s degree as well as managerial experience. Any advice, referrals, and recommendations are needed and appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Do not know the job market, but I do like it out there a lot. The city has started to get very experience and also has a lot more crime in recent years so you will want to visit extensively first. For example, a lot of people don't even like to go downtown anymore for fear of getting their cars broken into. I love to visit and am not afraid, but I would just keep that in mind.

Yup Seattle is very expensive.

With your five years of experience and your bachelor's degree you should have no problem finding a job in supply chain there. You may even be able to find a managerial position. Just be prepared for the rain. It rains a lot in Seattle. But don't worry, you'll get used to it. And after all it's better than snow right?
