Entry level. Paid relocation. 3rd or 4th most expensive place to live in the US depending on who you ask. This is probably not going to work out great for you.

Please think about this very carefully. It is extremely difficult to make it in Seattle in the situation you described.

Please don't. There's a REASON we have one of the worst homelessness issues in the US. You will become one of them if you don't listen to what everyone here is telling you.

Being from Washington State myself and after residing in Arizona and Texas, I don't recommend this move because:

  1. It's hard to find a job in Seattle and live in Seattle. Cost of living in the city is too high. My daughter works in IT there and struggles to afford rent etc.

  2. It's 10 times harder to find a retail job outside of Seattle where it's cheaper to live and you will deal with exhorbant competition from others wanting your job.

  3. Crime is high outside of Seattle especially in Tacoma.

  4. Traffic is bad

  5. Washington State isn't generous with welfare. Environment goes first..

  6. There's record homelessness in the area as we speak.

  7. Better make sure you can handle the cold and lack of sunlight without complaining. Cold, humid, foggy, gray, mist, rain, ice, cold to the bones.

  8. People are mean (based on reports from out of state people lol).

If you have family in the state or landed a decent job, I would recommend it but your situation isn't ideal.
