High Stream Moving is proud to offer moving from Toronto to Seattle and across Canada and the USA.
Moving from Toronto to Seattle affords you the opportunity to settle into one of America's most exciting cities. As the largest city in Washington, Seattle has many opportunities for employment, ample recreational options, and an overall high quality of life. It attracts Canadians who want to be part of a vibrant, expanding economy and want to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle near mountains and water.
Seattle has approximately 737,000 residents, and over four million people live in the metropolitan area. Many families have settled in Seattle due to job growth in technology, with some of the larger employers (e.g., Amazon and Microsoft) having headquarters nearby. The median family income in Seattle is approximately $118,745, which helps offset the high cost of living. Additionally, living in Washington does not impose a state income tax on residents to increase disposable income compared to living in Ontario.
Major landmarks in Seattle include the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the historic waterfront along Elliott Bay. Among all of Seattle's most distinguishing characteristics, Pike Place Market may be the most identifiable, as it is one of the oldest public markets in operation today and regularly contributes to the culture of Seattle. Seattle is also home to numerous theatres, live music venues, and has an excellent coffee culture that has earned international recognition.
Living in Seattle allows residents to experience both urban and outdoor life. Mountains, forests, and water surround Seattle, providing ample opportunity for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, kayaking, etc. Popular neighborhood areas to Seattle's vibrant community include Queen Anne, Ballard, Capitol Hill, and Fremont, which have many local businesses, restaurants, and walkable streets. If you are new and are looking for quieter residences, Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Kirkland are also popular places to live.
If you plan to move from Toronto to Seattle, there are many practical considerations you should know about.
Living in Seattle costs considerably more than in other cities in the region,, with various parts of the city being especially expensive. Expect to pay more than $2,000 per month for a one-bedroom apartment. At a median price of approximately $665,000, buying a home in Seattle isn’t cheap either. That’s why so many new residents in the area choose to rent while they get to know the different neighbourhoods.
In addition to geographical limitations (waterways and bridges), another factor that contributes to heavy traffic congestion throughout Seattle is the fact that most Seattleites prefer driving rather than taking public transit options (such as the Link Light Rail) for work or leisure; however, they still use transit for commuting on a regular basis.
Winters in Seattle are relatively mild compared to Toronto (i.e. there is not much snow, but there are many rainy days). Most of the winter rain occurs between November and March. Although winters can be quite grey, the region provides many opportunities for outdoor recreational activities because of its proximity to the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound.
With a little planning, a move to this city can be a fantastic transition to the next chapter of your life.
