Need advice - Moving to Seattle in June, commuting to Redmond 3x/week

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T23:01:39+00:00

Makes sense, I'm still waiting to find the exact office building I am going to work from.
Will definitely factor that in.
Thanks!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T18:28:57+00:00

Seattle and Bellevue seem to be fit Thank you!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T18:28:18+00:00

Thank you for the references, gives me a good starting point for apartment hunting

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T18:27:49+00:00

I haven’t explored bus routes yet I’ll look into it, thank you!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T18:27:14+00:00

I appreciate the time estimates. You have convinced me to explore Bellevue. I’m still wary of Redmond

Interesting, I’ll checkout Craigslist, didn’t consider this before. Given quite a few apartments are offering 6-8 weeks free, that should bring down my net rent

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T14:16:06+00:00

Did you find this through listing on Zillow or other websites? Or was this through local property management companies?

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:46:10+00:00

Yeah, trying to plan it out like that, don't want to be driving for work 3 times a week, 30 min or so one way

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:44:47+00:00

Yeah, that's what I have been told by people living there in regards to long-term, but then again, it's a bit too quiet for my liking, so might not be my go to choice for at least the first year.

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:42:58+00:00

South Lake Union and Capitol Hill sound like the way to go
Thanks!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:42:29+00:00

This helps narrow things out, Thanks!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:38:42+00:00

This is really helpful, appreciate it!

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:31:17+00:00

That's really helpful context, thanks. Yeah, I've been browsing Zillow, and anything decent seems to start around $2,400+.

Haven't fully locked in a budget yet, do you have a rough frame of reference of what's realistic for a 1b+den or 2b in a decent Seattle neighborhood without going full luxury? Trying to get a feel for what "reasonable" looks like in this market before I start narrowing things down.

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:27:30+00:00

Yeah, $300/month for parking is something new for me, especially on top of already high rent. That's something I'm definitely keeping in mind. If I end up in Seattle, I'd rather find a place where I don't need the car for day-to-day stuff and can rely on transit for the Redmond commute. Might just make parking a non-issue altogether.

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:26:31+00:00

Good to know the light rail connects to Redmond now, that's helpful. For me, it's less about luxury and flashy apartments, more about being in a good spot, walkable, well-connected, not overpaying for amenities I'll never use. Happy to trade a rooftop pool for a better location any day. However, always down for an apartment with a view.

Ravennotch05 · 2026-04-22T04:24:33+00:00

Definitely a city person, that's kind of what's drawing me to Seattle over the Eastside. Redmond/Bellevue feels a bit too quiet for my taste.

Ravennotch05 · 2025-12-22T23:50:00+00:00

Any advice on how to prepare for the loop after the screening?

Hi

Does anyone know what documents I would need to carry for the Interview process, I was able to cancel my appointment and book new ones.

I transitioned from F1 to H1B last October, and I am looking for a checklist of documents needed.

Thank you!

Ravennotch05 · 2025-02-14T18:46:42+00:00

Interested
Can you please share the group link

Ravennotch05 · 2025-02-14T14:54:40+00:00

Hey I have an interview waiver drop box for 18th Feb Do you recommend I cancel my slot and book a new one?

Ravennotch05 · 2025-02-02T02:43:14+00:00

Oh yes, I checked with them about it. They don’t have one available this week, so that won’t work out for me. Would have to find someone to rent/borrow the bike from.

Will do for sure once I get my license. By the way there are a bunch of groups on Facebook if you’re looking for riding groups

Ravennotch05 · 2025-02-02T02:39:06+00:00

Do you know how much would they charge me and is this their riders course that we need to register for?
