<p>Thank you very much for all of the great information. When my son comes home for Christmas break I think we are going to need to spend some serious time really figuring this out. I like the idea of the short term furnished rental so he can get a feel for things. I’m not relishing the thought of him getting an apartment in Seattle proper and then expecting us to figure our how to get him moved in. Of course being of the male persuasion he won’t be putting any thought into this until the day he is ready to move out there! And I thought my days of helicoptoring him were over.</p>
<p>What are the alternatives to using Craigs List for apartment hunting? Perhaps Microsoft’s relocation advisor will provide him with housing information when he gets closer to moving out there.</p>
<p>The stake center is actually where the church services and social events are held, but yes, it is very close to the temple, you can see it from i-90.</p>
<p>If the main reason for looking for an apartment on Capitol Hill is some concern about being able to get home after having a few drinks at a block party, no problems - that area has a 24-hr diner making good money off the folks who need to sober up prior to driving. :)</p>
<p>Just kidding. ;)</p>
<p>dmd, many things changed since you moved. This area is very dynamic and things evolve rather rapidly. The center of Redmond changed dramatically with all new construction going on. Recently, I could not recognize parts of Fremont - so much has been going on in the six month I have not been there! The dilapidated building across from the PCC store has been replaced by a modern apartment building housing a wine caf</p>
<p>PCC is still a cooperative , although the issaquah store reflects the neighborhood.
I joined the Kirkland store 37 years ago, and last time I was there the biggest shock was that they carried Vanity Fair!
I barely recognize Redmond however- do they still have bicycle days?</p>
