Thanks, how about Living in Issaquah and commuting to Snoqualmie for work? are there enough public transport available from Issaquah - Snoq?

Why not just live in Snoqualmie-- downtown Snoqualmie or Snoqualmie Ridge?

Do you know some good apartments in there? $750-$1000

Nope, any cheap hotels to stay in Snoqualmie??

I believe the T-Mobile offices (their Network Operations Center) are located at the new Snoqualmie Ridge Business Park (http://www.opussrbp.com/map.htm - broken link). Snoqualmie Ridge is located several miles away from the center of the town of Snoqualmie.

From the bus route, you'll have to walk about 1-2 miles. The bus route travels on SR-202.

You may want to inquire at the business park offices to see if there are carpools or vanpools organized coming from different locations. You also might want to check to see if there are any rentals in the adjacent Snoqualmie Ridge residential area which is a huge master planned community. That way, you could walk to work.

And to clarify, Snoqualmie is not in the mountains, per se. It is in the "foothills." The elevation of both the towns of Snoqualmie and North Bend are less than 500 feet so they don't get that much more snow than the lowlands.

Some of the previous posters may have been thinking of Snoqualmie Pass which IS located in the mountains and does get a lot of snow in the winter because of it (elevation is 3,022 feet in comparison).

Many thanks scirocco22 -same qn again...how about Living in Issaquah and commuting to Snoqualmie for work? are there enough public transport available from Issaquah - Snoq Ridge Business Park?

Are there any cheap hotels to stay (until I find an Apartment) in Snoqualmie??

Well, there is a commuter bus route that goes though the Snoqualmie Ridge area but it is serving the reverse direction than you'd be wanting from Issaquah. In other words, it will be going toward Seattle from North Bend in the morning and to North Bend from Seattle in the afternoon.

What I'd suggest is to stay in North Bend. That way you could take advantage of that bus route.

Here is the current schedule of the route 215 bus:

North Bend leave times / Snoqualmie Ridge arrive times:

5:02 am / 5:19 am
5:44 am / 6:01 am
6:15 am / 6:32 am
6:43 am / 7:00 am
7:13 am / 7:30 am


Snoqualmie Ridge leave times / North Bend arrive times:

4:44 pm / 5:02 pm
5:14 pm / 5:32 pm
5:44 pm / 6:02 pm
6:15 pm / 6:31 pm
7:08 pm / 7:24 pm

The afternoon times will be estimated so you may have to be at the bus stop early and also may have to wait longer than you expect.

There are some "cheap" motels in North Bend. Two of which are right in the downtown area.

North Bend Motel

Sunset Motel

Many thanks scirocco22, How about the availability of good hospitals in Issaquah area?

[seattlenextyear]

Hospitals? There's an ER at Swedish (near Lake Sammamish Park), and an Urgent Care center also in that area. Neither of them have beds. They're building another Swedish center near Issaquah Highlands which I think will have beds in it.

For a actual real hospital where you can give birth and have heart surgery (preferably not at the same time), you'll have to go to Overlake in Bellevue or Evergreen in Kirkland.
