I’m moving to seattle with my 5th grade twins and am wondering what the best neighborhoods are for regular, non-millionaire families. It looks like Bothel, but what other areas should I look at?
I need real help here, please

West Seattle!

I love that area, but it didn’t feel great for families with kids. Is there truth to that?

There are a lot of variables when it comes to finding the right place for your family. Where will you be working out of - East side/ Seattle or all over/ doesn't matter? How much space do you need? Are you buying or renting? Does public school rating matter or will your kids go to private school?
Bothell is a decent city on the east side. North Kirkland, parts if Woodinville and parts if Bellevue will all fall is similar price points. Maybe look at Maple valley, Issaquah, and South Everett as well.

West Seattle is a wonderful area! We’ve lived here for twelve years, and lived in Issaquah previously for twelve years. School districts in Issaquah, Mercer Island, and the Lake WA district include some fine schools.

There are some fine apartments to rent that are not overly expensive. With a budget of $3500-4500, I think they will work.

I plan to rent.
My budget of $3500-$4500/month seems to give me options around the metro.

If that’s your budget, then don’t even let these other fishes try and convince you Seattle or anywhere west of Lake Washington is worth it for families. That budget can get you a solid 4/5bed rental in the Eastside, and frankly there is no better area for what you’re looking for.

like

Broadview/Bitter Lake, West Seattle, Columbia City, Greenwood, or the City of Shoreline. Are you buying or renting?

Shoreline has highly rated public schools.

Smart people who know about technology: 🙏🏼 I want to get 11.5-14 inch monitor to add to my (1) laptop and (2) second monitor.

I’m worried about the monitor having a high “processor” and slowing down all my programs (including the program I use to login to my office desktop). Can someone point me to a monitor that may work?

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
