Moving To Seattle, Working in Tukwila (rent, student loans, employment)

[christi1981]

I was just offered a job with boeing in tukwila. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the areas to live that won't be over 30 or a 45 minute commute. I do not mind taking public transit at all. I was actually in Seattle a few weeks ago and liked the bus system in the city. Anyways any and all recommendations and suggestions would be great. My monthly salary range will be around 3500 a month. I don't want to spend all my money on rent since I do have student loans and other debt due to school.

Metro King County Transit is at http://transit.metrokc.gov/. You can get a service map there, showing routes. Make sure to look at the timetables of the routes; a lot of them are rush hour only. That'll let you get a handle on whether a bus will do you much good (which depends on where your employment is) and if it does, where you can live for maximum convenience.
