Where to live in Seattle if working in Redmond? Coming from the NE so used to public transport and rarely drive. I'm thinking Capitol Hill or downtown for good food, transit and walkablility, though I'll have a car. Any other neighborhoods to consider?

As someone who did the Belltown/Redmond commute 15+ years ago when fewer people lived here, just be prepared to spend a lot of time in traffic, especially on the way home, and especially on Fridays. I'm also a city person, so didn't consider Redmond, Bellevue or Kirkland as options, but if you are less set on the city, perhaps one of them will work. Cap Hill probably is the least painfull if you stay in the city.

Most people just live in Cap Hill or Belltown. Why not just live in Redmond?
