About what is a good neighboorhood (close to Downtown) to live in Seattle for a young couple

What is a good neighboorhood (close to Downtown) to live in Seattle for a young couple?
Hi, I will mostly likely be working in Seattle next year for a company just South of I-90 (North Beacon Hill). I am looking for a place to rent that is: - safe - clean - at most a 20 min commute to the area by the Pac Med - relatively cheap ($1000-1200 ideal, but 1600 ok if its foxy) - either newly built or remodeled I am not looking neccesarily for a particular complex. I want to know what the best neighboorhoods are that sound like a young, adventurous couple would like it there (and roughly match the criteria above).

Answer 1 :
Hi Brock...consider either the Capital Hill, Queen Anne or Belltown neighbourhoods all have new and old structures blended in together. Additionally, many young people are concentrated in these three communities mostly and they are close to downtown and not too far of a commute to Pac Med as well. Crime varies all over Seattle, however in these two communities it isn't as prevalent in other communities such as south Seattle. Consider browsing through the local Craigslist housing http://seattle.craigslist.org/hhh/ to help get a feel for rent.
Answer 2 :
Seward Park or Leschi.

Paramedic work in seattle area??
Hi- Moving to Seattle from the east coast in the next 6 months and wondering what kind of paramedic opportunies are avaiable? Currentley working for AMR and may try to transfer to the Seattle area. Any advice? I've mostly worked in private (911 and transfer). Thanks!

Answer 1 :
Why are you asking here? AMR has a site with job postings. I assume you know that if you work for them. http://www.amr.net/
Answer 2 :
From what I understand, all Seattle 911 calls are handled by the Seattle Fire Department. They actually put any newly hired paramedics through their own paramedic training school. Seems like a really big pain to me. They have a really good reputation, though. You might try getting a job with a non emergency transport service, but what fun is that? Other counties in Washington state will use private ambulance services. You just have to ask around and find out which counties are hiring. There's always jobs to be had as ER techs in local hospitals. Hope this helps!
Answer 3 :
There is plenty of Paramedic Work in Seattle.
Answer 4 :
AMR does not have Medics in Seattle they have the contract with the city to provide BLS only. AMR and Rural Metro in Tacoma hire Medics activly. Also AMR in Spokane hires Medics for its 911 contract. You should find work other than AMR. AMRs leadership team is a train wreck.

Am I a real American according to Sarah Palin? I live in Seattle and work in computers. I have a BA from?
the University of Washington and have worked since I was 15. According to Palin, real Americans live in small towns, mid-west places. Seattle has 2 million people, so I guess that doesn't make me a real American, right?

Did she say that no real Americans live in big cities? No, she didn't.
Answer 2 :
Nope. Joe six-pack is Palin's ideal American. You latte-swigging programmers just aren't American enough for her.
Answer 3 :
I know. I live in NYC and go to Columbia University. I guess I'm to smart to be a real American in her eyes.
Answer 4 :
Really, Sarah Palin said that? Thanks for telling me, I was actually going to vote for her. Seriously, if you're going to ask a question and provide background information for the question.... It's a good idea to get your facts straight... Otherwise, you'll never have any credibility... As someone else said; "You're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts."
Answer 5 :
Actually she said that "pro - america" people live in small towns. You are therefore "anti - american".
Answer 6 :
If you scratch your arss at nite and wake up with a smelly finger, then you are an American.
Answer 7 :
Yeah those of us that live in big cities and live with the thought of a terrorist attack aren't "Real Americans" we are Anti Americans.

I'm afraid there isn't much work anywhere, friend. You can always go look at a job postings site online and see what kind of job opportunities there are in the city. Just do a search for it. You could even search for a specific kind of job in a specific part of town, I am sure.

What are the top five IP law firms in the Seattle area to work as a biotech patent agent?
I am looking to relocate to the west coast and am investigating Seattle and various California cities. I am a registered patent agent (4 yrs ago) with a BS in biochemistry, and a very strong background in sequence listings and sequence searching. I have worked for an international bioinformatics company. I am currently working as an IP legal assistant for attorneys for a large Boston law firm and thus am quite familiar with patent prosecution. I am looking to do patent work such as sequence listings, sequence searching, sequence analysis, patentability searches (have done those), and patent prosecution. I am aware Seed is a top firm in this regard.

Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe (HEWM) in the San Francisco headquarters has a huge IP dept. with many IP attorneys in their other branches (Seattle being one), though not as many. The San Diego branch, though smaller, is made up of a lot of IP attys b/c of the huge biotech boom there. Seattle had more environmental attys than anything (seems to be the trend for the whole state), but still had IP attys there. HEWM is well known as a 1st class firm within all the CA atty's I've talked to, evoking an ooh and ahh about the firm.

Answer 1 :
Nowhere legally. You have to be 15 to get a work permit. You might be able to get babysitting jobs thru family or friends.
Answer 2 :
i think your best bet is to do babysitting, petsitting, mowing the lawn, etc.
Answer 3 :
Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities. 3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you. 7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison. 8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
If you're low income, then you can sign up for the Summer Youth Employment program. They provide jobs for youths between the ages of 13 - 18 only in the summer. I would go to the city of Seattle web page for more information! If you're not low income, then I would look at babysitting or dogwalking jobs! Good luck
