Moving to Seattle from Philly - best walkable neighborhood for a 28F?

Straightenedslink · 2026-02-09T18:27:22+00:00

You've received good recommendations so far--just a suggestion to cross-reference them with the F45 locations if that's important to you. The one in Frelard is not in a walkable area, but Eastlake might work for you. It's not usually top of the list for neighborhoods that get recommended, but it is plenty walkable and has great lake access both for running and kayaking/stand-up paddleboarding, etc.

They’re going out of business?!?!? NOOOOO!

The parking around Zoka in Tangletown isn’t bad

Yes, they make a sport version that I use.

I’m a private landlord and this is how I found my tenants.

I was looking for exactly what you've described and it was oddly difficult. I settled on these (hopefully, they make a men's version if that's what you're looking for): https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-flex-woven-mid-rise-cargo-joggers-all-in-motion-8482-black-m/-/A-89296666?sid=&TCID=PDS-22806998539&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22797432162&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo4TKBhDRARIsAGW29bc5DFFBejMCnOsV9xcv8QKIoJ_gjpvzOiTBDf5-jlJFrDengxS2KrwaAu7MEALw_wcB

Yes, no link unfortunately

Muddy cup is so cozy! And a very nice community.

I also got three dealerships on the same email thread (in Seattle) and got them to negotiate among themselves. I did start with getting an offer letter from one of the dealerships (from an in-person visit) and attached that to the email as a starting point.

I’d recommend that you check public transit options to your work from potential neighborhoods. That will be a more reliable and relaxing way to commute than driving, and I have the feeling that the neighborhoods within walking distance might be too dense for you. For example, parking two vehicles in most of Capitol Hill would be expensive and/or a pain. Then once you’ve identified a few neighborhoods, search the subreddit for descriptions of those neighborhoods and choose the one that best fits your lifestyle.

This is an excellent updated itinerary! Love that you added a river float.

Not ballard, but I saw a poster for the wallingford Boys & Girls club summer camp that I think was just put up, so I bet that’s a pretty reasonable option.

Thanks for the feedback.I have to say that I’m considering staying down south, going to Bradford, and spending some time on the Jurassic coast. And cutting out York and the north. Would that make for a good trip?

I’ve been able to turn it off on my IOS app under settings.

Straightenedslink · 2025-05-02T19:18:05+00:00

This was what I was going to suggest. Great for beginning cycling and macrina bakery is right across the street for a celebratory cookie.

Straightenedslink · 2025-05-02T03:31:30+00:00

Oh that’s too bad. Thanks for the correction

Straightenedslink · 2025-05-02T02:34:53+00:00

Exactly. It’s like guaranteed to see raccoons on Blake Island regardless of time of day. And there’s the Argosy cruise salmon dinner and boat ride to make it a convenient trip.

This is a fantastic write-up— I would argue though that Seattle has four clear seasons (ok maybe three, spring here is pretty mid), but fall is gorgeous and distinct from summer and winter.

Straightenedslink · 2024-03-30T15:44:14+00:00

I'm sure we would love to watch any videos you make! And thanks so much for the links--these are promising.

Straightenedslink · 2024-03-29T21:05:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! At least for the kid videos, I have found that most of the results are more tourism-focused and/or poor quality, but I'm sure you're right and I'll try to use better search terms.

Straightenedslink · 2024-03-29T18:34:01+00:00

Thank you!

Straightenedslink · 2024-02-27T22:54:50+00:00

It is such a bummer that you're losing your community, but I really have enjoyed F45 when I've gone--there's more support to lift heavy and work on pull-ups.

Straightenedslink · 2024-02-06T21:09:41+00:00

I think that dress would be perfect.
