New holly is very safe. I’d highly recommend you move there.

I would say they’re very similar. You don’t want to live right off of MLK or Rainier, very busy streets in Seattle. For that reason alone, I’d try and find something in New Holly further away from MLK. If you can afford Columbia City it’s worth it, much more walkable to a lot of great restaurants and to Seward Park, which is one the best parks for walking in the city.

Is the area safe? Reasonably clean and maintained?

I’m moving soon from the east coast and am trying to figure out which neighborhoods would be a good fit. Rental budget is $3000-$3500 for ~3 bedroom townhouse/house, ideally with a garage and a small outdoor space.

Any other area recommendations?

There’s crime everywhere in Seattle, just like other cities. The further out you go from the Seattle core, either south or north the cheaper it will be to rent and buy. I hate to say this, but I think it’s going to be challenging to find a three bedroom house with a garage and yard for $3500, but I’ve owned for over 20 years and have no idea what houses are renting for in 2023.

Based on what I’m seeing a yard isn’t going to happen, but a small patio may be possible.

Thanks for the info!

I would NOT live there. We looked over that way and it’s just not safe to walk around. I’m married, no children, female. I would not feel safe going for a run or going into town; even in Columbia city. You make one wrong turn and it changes rapidly. Seward is nice but all the homes where you want to be are so loud due to the major road noise. Best of luck!

To live. Married couple in early/mid 30s, no kids, dog, looking for quiet residential area with restaurants and cafes ideally walking distance, but would take a short drive, and able to walk in

So…..my director has been in the position for a little over a year. We’ve been working our tails off and last quarter were informed of no bonuses. I understand that business is down and need to save money. The straw for us was a company holiday party. They completely forgot to have one and now taking us to a bar for drinks and appetizers. Someone asked if that includes a dinner and they said no. The optics is just so bad. Any advice? Really rethinking my current situation and need to reevaluate.
