Have lived here 2 years . HMU if you need a cheap studio in Capitol Hill , I ' m most likely leaving in June and I have an awesome location for ~$ 1 k a month which is unheard of here . Not super new or super nice but it ' s a great place for the money . I haven ' t had a car in the time I ' ve been here . We have BMW ReachNow , car 2 go and decent public transit . The lightrail goes from UW to the airport and costs like $ 3 . 50 , compared to the $ 40 uber I had to take this morning . Bus passes are supplied by many employers , or they ' re ~$ 100 month for unlimited or $ 2 . 502 . 75 per ride . There ' s a good gay scene here , but only 4 or 5 enjoyable gay bars . Some fun guys , some cliquey groups . a pretty normal range of gays I think haha . Drinks are spendy . Good food is decently priced compared to other cities .
