Just do your research cause my friend idk where the fuck he rented last year seattle and was like complaining it was more dangerous than NYC

[molten vortex]

I’m aiming to be walking distance form office lol

[ebon kindle]

That's honestly the plan, walking distant or if the company provide transport

[round stream]

seattle is highkey sketchier than NYC

[ebon kindle]

im surprise about that

The bar was low, idk how it got lower

[south isle]

same

[south isle]

yeah same lol

[south isle]

aurora sponsors pretty sure

[round stream]

it was not at all what I expected

I lived near UW district and there was a shooting right outside my place

seattle is a lot worse than cities on east coast if that's what you're used to

[south isle]

seattle is fine bro

ofc every city is gonna have bad neighborhoods

but seattle bad is nothing compared to nyc bad

[round stream]

idk about that one bro

im from nyc

[south isle]

oh damn

where were you in seattle

[round stream]

i went everywhere in the city

but lived ~5m from UW

[south isle]

that's not bad?

I lived near slu for a winter and a summer

[round stream]

nothing's gonna happen to u if you're not stupid lol

but on avg it feels sketchier than nyc

[south isle]

I lived near columbia i think 110th st

in nyc

pretty sketchy

in the night

[round stream]

yea i have a friend who dorms off campus there

but idt it's worse than 3rd at night lol

[south isle]

true

[round stream]

also in nyc just walking around i don't get the feeling you'll randomly get attacked by some crackhead

i feel like the odds were a lot higher in seattle

[sacred lantern]

Tech Foundations

and i got it a weekish ago, was out of home for a while so I did it today

and yea im from NYC it aint bad, i like it

most areas i feel perfectly fine, just need to have your head about you

[round stream]

if u end up in seattle do not rent in pioneer square or 3rd ave

a friend who lived in pioneer literally walked out of the station on his first day to someone dead on the side of the street

[ebon kindle]
