Seattle combines urban sophistication with breathtaking natural beauty. Renters can enjoy trendy apartments in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or Belltown near restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife while families often choose areas like Ballard or West Seattle for their quiet streets and proximity to parks. The city’s thriving job market spans industries such as tech (home to Amazon and Microsoft), healthcare, and aerospace while its iconic attractions like Pike Place Market and the Space Needle make it an exciting place to live. With easy access to mountains and water activities, Seattle is perfect for those who value both career growth and outdoor adventure.

Apartment List has released Seattle’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Seattle renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "With expensive rents in coastal tech hubs, it comes as no surprise that cost of living is a source of dissatisfaction in Seattle."
