FYI, by the prices I'm seeing I think the closest I'll get to the city is Renton. Is this horrible? I hear mixed reviews actually on Yelp there was a post that was titled 'Friends Don't Let Friends live in Renton". Yikes. I don't have children so the school issue isn't really an issue. But, if its anything like where I'm from, the school are often indicative of the neighborhood, bad schools bad neighborhood.

OMG I can't believe the timing of this post. I am looking to relocate Seattle this summer. I've never been there either. I'm terrified of picking the wrong area. I'm also coming from the midwest where there is a sizeable jump in the cost of living. Really was debating renting an apartment online but now wondering if I should find some short term housing until I get myself settled. If anyone has suggestions or tips reedusf@sbcglobal.net.

Your New Rental: 5 Spots To Clean Well

Oh one more point, as far as cleaning....if at all possible I try and get the keys to my new apartment a couple days before the movers will arrive. It is much easier to clean an empty apartment rather than tripping over boxes.

I've moved almost every year of my life...sometimes twice. I remember being a kid in charge of packing my room and I packed my trash can...full of trash. Anyway...I agree with what has been said. The first two things I set up are the bathroom and the bed. After a hot sweaty day of moving, I want to shower and go to bed. I pack a bag with necessities for a couple days with clothes and toiletries.
Also I tend to over organize on packing so that unpacking is not so horrible i.e. color coding and diagraming. I color code the boxes to the rooms I want those boxes to go in. Then I put the color on a print out of the apartment floor plan. I work on unpacking from public areas (living room) to private areas.

This is like one of nightmares brought to life. I'd have to be severely sedated to be able to even go here. Deep Blue Sea anyone?
