The leaves are PEEKING at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton!

The best fall color is happening right now.

And it’s so fun to be there with everyone feeling excited about the change of seasons.

I spotted 3 brides! And a gaggle of teens dressed up for a dance. So adorable.

And with Lake Washington right there, it’s the perfect spot to go for a crunchy leaf walk, grab some chowder or just hang out.

Get out there before we get a windstorm and they’re all gone.

Believe it or not, people really do move to Seattle to save money.

I’m looking at you, New Yorkers and Angelenos.

If this is you, prepare for these culture shocks when you get here!

✅ Parallel parking on a hill.

Rain + stick shift = instant meltdown.

Bonus points for fancy cars on either side.

✅ Black Ice

The road looks wet.

It’s not.

Tap the brakes once, and you’re doing surprise donuts in slow motion.

✅ Restaurants closing at 9.

Hungry at 9:05?

Too bad.

New Yorkers take this one personally.

✅ The passive-aggressive politeness.

We won’t honk.

We won’t yell.

But we absolutely saw what you just did.

✅ “Dress code”?

If you dress like you’re ready for an emergency hike, you’ll fit right in.

Otherwise, you’re overdressed 99 percent of the time.

✅ By mid-February, you’ll be googling your symptoms.

“Hey Siri”

“Um hm”

“Why do I feel like a sloth?”

It’s a rite of passage.

✅ Recycling rules.

One wrong bin and a stranger will correct you nicely.

Firmly.

Nicely.

But firmly.

✅ Seattle or Eastside?

Date someone across the bridge, and you’re basically in a long-distance relationship.

Everyone will agree with this.

Despite all of that, it’s still one of the greatest cities.

If you’re thinking about making the move and don’t know where to start.

I got you!

Comment “GUIDE,” and I’ll send you my Seattle’s Most Popular Suburbs Relocation Guide.

It’s got everything I wish I knew when I made the move:

✔️median home prices,

✔️ median income

✔️ population

✔️ school ratings

✔️ commute times

✔️ and all the stuff you won’t find on Google.

1️⃣ Seattle is hilly.

Like San Francisco hilly.

But no one really talks about it.

Downtown, especially, will give you a workout if you’re walking.

2️⃣ Snow is a big deal.

In New York, if it snows, life slows a bit, but never stops.

Here?

A few inches, everyone raids the stores for milk and bread, then hunkers down.

If the hills freeze over, it becomes an ice rink.

Literally.

3️⃣ Public transportation isn’t like other big cities.

I didn’t learn to drive until I was 22 because I didn’t need to in NYC.

In Seattle, you’ll want a car.

The light rail is growing, but we still have a ways to go.

4️⃣ Grocery stores are gigantic.

Not a complaint!

Food shopping is one of my favorite parts of living here.

If you’re a foodie, you’ll be in heaven between mega chains, specialty shops, and year-round farmers’ markets.

Don’t get me started on how fresh the seafood is.

It’s incredible.

5️⃣ Nature is everywhere.

Discovery Park, the Arboretum, and countless other green spaces inside the city.

Drive 30 minutes, and you’ll be surrounded by mountains, water, and views that never get old.

Thinking about making a move, but aren’t sure which suburb will fit your lifestyle best?

It’s what I wish I’d had when I made the move.
