Seattle suburbs that are safe and cheaper? Wanting to move there soon but need info first.? -

We are looking for an area around Seattle that is both safe and cheap. By cheap I mean less than $700 to rent a 1bd apt. Have been told Renton in the past, just wondering if this is true? Also any other safe, cheap towns would be greatly appreciated too! We are coming to visit in January but are on a short schedule and don t want to waste time in bad or expensive areas. Any town any direction of Seattle would help. I guess if there are any areas of Seattle that are safe and under $700 Seattle would be an option also. Thanks for any and all info.

You wont find anything in Seattle that meets your criteria. Prices drop going north and south for the city (and King County), but both are largely quite crime ridden as well. You can see breakdowns at:www.bestplace.netNorth: Shoreline, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Everett, Bothell.South: Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way.

It is usually a LOT more expensive in King county (the county where seattle is) and renton is pretty expensive so i doubt you can find something that cheap. You can try rent.com or craigslist. I live in puyallup which is safe but you would have to search for an apartment that cheap and i m not even in King county. Tacoma has cheap apartments but a lot of the cheap areas arent that safe. Keep in mind that even the unsafe areas arent THAT bad..i mean you arent going to get shot. Seattle area is pretty expensive though so i m not sure how easy it will be to find something good less than an hour away at that price :-/

You might also want to look north in the Lynnwood area. You can probably find an apartment in your price range and it s a pretty quick and easy commute to Seattle by bus.

Housing prices in the Seattle area are rather expensive because historically commuting has been a nightmare. This may be changing with the advent of light rail and increased bus service, but due to the geography of the city there just isn t a lot more room to pave over for more freeways. This lack of convenient and cheap commuting means everyone wants to live near their workplace, and most people either work downtown in Seattle, Bellevue, or Redmond.If you truly don t care about access to Seattle itself, you might want to check out bedroom communities on either the Penninsula or one of the Islands in Puget Sound. Kitsap County (encompassing Port Orchard, Bremmerton, and Silverdale) has generally cheap rents and is accessible to Seattle via our ferry system.

What cities in North Carolina would you recommend for me to move to? -

I ve lived in Fayetteville for 18 years (I m 23 now) and my bf and I plan on moving to another city in North Carolina before our 1 year old daughter starts kindergarten. We ve both grown tired and fed up with Fayetteville, not necessarily because of the city itself, but mostly because it s gotten too populated for our liking (over 200,000 people) and we ve just grown bored with it and want to move on to a new place. We do like that Fayetteville is historic, we like downtown, and it is beginning to develop more things like festival park, more shopping, places to eat, etc. but it won t be enough to keep us living here the rest of our lives. It would be nice to find a city that is similar to Fayetteville but not so populated and maybe has less crappy spots. We like parks, fun city events, lots of things to do and places to eat. We don t really need to live in a place that is business-centered. We still want to live close enough to Fayetteville so that we can visit a few times a month to see our friends and family and to attend the festivals Fayetteville has (Dogwood Festival, Folk Festival). I m not too big on cold, so I probably wouldn t like to live in or too close to the mountains. I love the beach but we don t necessarily need to live at one. A place that is not too populated, but not too empty... a good mix between urban and rural (suburban?) ... has lots to offer day and night, all year round ... has a good community with nice people ... is the kind of city we d like to live in in NC.So ... if you have a good idea of what would be the best options for us, please let me know!* So far, I ve been interested in Carrboro/Chapel Hill. I like the kind of town Carrboro is and what it seems to offer (especially the Farmer s Market), and that it s so close to Chapel Hill that we could commute there too and take advantage of what it has to offer too. What advice do you have on these cities?Thank you.

Reidsville is really small but its a great town to grow up in, its really close to Greensboro and you don t have to live in a huge city. Its also really pretty during the fall and spring and its never too hot or cold. Also Brown Summit and Summerfield are in that same region, close to Greensboro..it really is a great place.

If you think Carrboro is good, give it a try. It really is a unique town...you find very few like it in the South. It s the most walkable city in the state too.

DEFINITELY!!!!! Move to Raleigh!

Charlotte can be your next site to build your home or to select one from available plenty. As per the wikipedia, Charlotte has 199 neighborhoods which span from Uptown to Ballantyne. Uptown has undergone a massive construction phase with buildings from Bank of America, Wells Fargo and multiple condos. Elizabeth Avenue has also had large residential buildings under construction. On Kenilworth and Charlottetowne Avenues, near Carolinas Medical Center, the Metropolitan, a major mixed-use project, was recently completed.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte,_��

Can my friend travel to Las vegas? -

She doesnt have a id yet... because she was illegal...but now shes kind of legal.... her work is in pending... well it was now its approved all she needs to do is apply so she could travel internationally...but she does have a social security card....is she able to fly to las vegas from houston?....

No government issued photo ID = no air travel.

I m afraid your friend won t be able to travel any where unless she has a state or federal ID , airlines , bus , and trains .By some chance , if your friend went to Las Vegas with you the retails outlets and casinos will ask for ID if she does not produce ID she will get arrested for the time being and will be fined ,if she cannot prove if she is a US citizen they will hold her until they find out who she is , all states are like this it s not just Las Vegas either

The answer seems to be NO. The first helper suggested to use Greyhound.com (the bus).There are 4 departures a day to Las Vegas and 2 towards Houston. It takes around 36 hours for a full one way trip. It cost around $200 with a 21 days tickets paid in advance instead of $306 if bought at the last minute.

Your friend can travel to Las Vegas on Greyhound bus. To get on any airline in the US, you must provide TSA with a government issued identification card or a passport. Sorry... the world has changed.

Your friend is illegally in the USA. She must return to her country. If she turns herself in to the INS they will get her back home.

To get on any plane she needs a valid ID, like passport or driver s license
