What's not to like about Seattle, a city on the Pacific Northwest coast in the shadow of Mount Rainier, with a diverse citizenship and deep culture. The Emerald City boasts enough amenities for three cities. Its residents are educated and healthy. And for seniors, there are an array of assisted living options in Seattle's many neighborhoods and suburbs.
Location, location, location - yes, Seattle's beautiful setting does come with a price. The city's cost of living, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is 14% higher than the national average. This is, however, lower than many cities in California and the Northeast. The median home price has ticked down to $335,000, still pricey, but almost 10% lower than the previous year. The average auto insurance premium is $1,811. The state and local tax burden is 9.3%.
It's no secret Seattle gets the rain, especially in the winter and spring months. Over the course of a year, only about 1 out of every 5 days are sunny. The rainiest months are between October and April. The summer months, however, are beautiful with plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.
You name it and Seattle has it: a world-famous symphony and ooera; a diverse music scene; professional sports. Every year you can experience the Seattle International Film Festival, the Bite of Seattle food festival, the Northwest Folklife Festival, and the Bumbershoot music and art festival to name a few. Seattle often makes the list for "fittest cities in the U.S." Residents keep fit in the city's many parks such as Green Lake, Discovery Park, Magnolia, Myrtle Edwards Park, Seward Park and the popular Burke-Gilman Trail.
The city is divided up into dozens of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. Consider the Queen Anne area and the assisted living community of Merrill Gardens. The Magnolia area has a number of options including the Magnolia Discovery Home Care, Magnolia Manor, and Magnolia Home Care. In the suburb of Kirkland, you'll find the Kirkland Lodge and Merrill Gardens at Kirkland.
