As someone who interviews a lot of candidates in Seattle, I say the number one thing I hear is "my significant other just got a job for Amazon/Microsoft, so I want to move here".

3-4 bedroom in an average area will start at 700k. That would give you about a 45 minute commute each way via bus. Monthly parking is usually $300 or so, which is why most people use bus. If you want to buy in Bellevue then budget about 800k. If you want a suburb of Seattle itself then probably 850k depending on the quality

^ even those numbers seem low. We looked a year or so ago, and couldn’t get anything within Seattle proper for less than 1.5mil
