 Not what I was looking for August 19, 2008
J. Raymond (Minneapolis)
I found this book more helpful for the actual packing/moving process than I did for the Seattle-specific location. I like the checklist of things to do before you move and the timeline for when to handle certain moving-related tasks. However, I was not very impressed with the information on Seattle. The descriptions of the neighborhoods seemed romanticized, as if the author were trying to poetically display this extreme personality and contrast to each section. I'm not convinced they are accurate descriptions. I was also expecting a lot of information on the city--downtown, the traffic, the weather, etc.--and I was quite disappointed.
I would recommend looking into another book, or buying this one used for 46 cents as I did.
 Excellent guide for a Seattle neophyte! September 27, 2001

Having decided recently to look into making the big move cross-country, I checked out this book and found it to be a much better than average moving guide. After reading it, I felt like I lived there - maybe not quite a native, but not a newbie either! The author is clearly very familiar with his city, and his stories contain just the right blend of humor and insight. All in all, I thought it was a very enjoyable read...and I just might move to Seattle!

I tend to be a big list maker and have drawers and files crammed full of newspaper clippings and magazine articles. Considering a move to the Seattle area from the mid-Atlantic, I picked up Mr. Steele's "Relocating to Seattle" and found that I had hit the jackpot! Sort of like One Stop Shopping - I found all the information I could possibly need for anticipating and making the move westward. He even had advice and suggestions on topics I hadn't even thought about! Also, expecting - as with many travel books - rather dry text, I was thrilled to find that Mr. Steele's book was a truly enjoyable read! Lots of personal annecdotes and well-placed humor made it a book I will hang onto for years to come.

Not Quite Paradise - but Close! August 23, 2001

This is one of the very finest "relocation" books that I have had the pleasure of perusing. My career consisted of forty years in the Navy (1948-1988) and twenty different living locations. If ONLY Guy Steele had been around during that period of time to provide advanced information about even just ONE of my living locations, it would have been a blessing.Altho I have visited Seattle from time to time, Guy almost challenges me to try it out for a permanent residence. After reading his book, can I leave Honolulu and head for Seattle? No! But almost!
