Seattle's Future: How Your Ramen Budget Will Survive the Next 10 Years
Okay, so you're a broke student trying to figure out if moving to Seattle is a good idea, right? Let's talk future projects. First off, the light rail's expanding like a weed. They're slapping down tracks to Ballard and the UW. Sounds cool, but brace yourself: construction zones are gonna make getting anywhere feel like a scavenger hunt. Seriously, one day you're grabbing ramen, the next you're circling blocks because some overpass is getting a facelift. *Pro tip: Check the Sound Transit app religiously. It's your lifeline. Oh, and rent? Yeah, it's still a savage. But hey, they're building more affordable housing. Fingers crossed it actually helps before I'm 40. Overheard at the Pike Place coffee grinder: 'Yeah, the new tunnel under the waterfront? Total nightmare. My bus route got rerouted through a construction zone that smells like wet concrete and desperation.' Drunk advice: If you're thinking of moving here, bring a bike. And a thick skin. The future's shiny, but getting there might involve a lot of detours and maybe a few choice words about traffic. External links: Check out the latest on the Ballard Link extension on Sound Transit's site. For ramen spots that won't break the bank, Yelp's got your back. And if you're curious about the actual cost of living spike, Reddit's r/Seattle is a goldmine of 'I survived this month' stories. Weather update: It's drizzling again. Typical. But hey, Portland is just a short drive away if you need a break from the rain and the future chaos. Embed map:
