Answer 1 :
Non-profit work will never pay as much as the private sector. BMGF pays better than anyone else, but it still doesn't equal consulting for accenture, etc. So, the most important thing in choosing a non-profit is finding one where you can go in EVERY SINGLE DAY believing in the goals, and feeling like you are making a difference toward reaching them. If overseas work is going to make you feel detached from the community, BMGF is NOT a good place to work. On the other hand, if you feel like even the homeless in this city have it better than the abjectly poor in some other countries, you had best steer clear of United Way.
Answer 2 :
Easy answer is: Gates Foundation, the biggest non-profit in the world and doing amazing work to help kids live and help kids succeed in school.
Answer 3 :
what education, work experience and/or skills do you have that a non-profit agency would want - there are all different types of agencies so whatever your background is, you probably would not be useful at all of them

I would go to the websites for local newspapers. If there is an organizarion that represents fishermen, I would contact them.

Answer 1 :
Commuting to/from/within Seattle absolutely sucks. You need to live as close to campus as possible. You can catch a bus to just about anywhere at Montlake.
Answer 2 :
The U-District, where the UW is, would probably be best. Anywhere within Seattle will give you what you are looking for, but the U-District is catered to students at the UW.
Answer 3 :
Actually, the public transportation system is not that bad. When I was finishing my degree there in 2003-2004 I commuted from quite a long distance away (past Tacoma!) and, with the bus lanes the commute wasn't too bad. One of the great benefits of you being a UW student is that you will, every quarter, receive a reduced fare student sticker that you just throw on your student card. You just flash that at the bus driver or sound transit ticket-taker and it's good for King and Pierce counties on Metro (Seattle Transit) or Sound Transit express buses (they were excluding Snohomish county at that time). Every day you'll be able to enjoy one mountain range to the east and one to the west. To the south is beautiful Mt. Rainier. When you're stuck in traffic, the view will compensate and inspire you. On Capitol Hill in Seattle, you'll likely find the most young and vibrant people. Many single people live there and many people walk or take the numerous buses or trolleys in that area. Also, Capitol Hill has probably the most coffeeshops per square inch of anyplace around.

About living in Seattle working in Kirkland

Living in Seattle working in Kirkland?
Is it realistic to live in Downtown Seattle (Belltown, Queen Anne) and work in Kirkland? What would the commute be like and how long during typical business hours? Is there a method of Mass Transit like the Sky Train in Vancouver,BC that could get you around?

Answer 1 :
Between Seattle and Kirkland you have some great transit options. The best bet would be Metro express bus line #255 which operates daily express service along the highway 520 freeway between Downtown Seattle and Kirkland. The route runs frequently and the travel time is only about 30 minutes each way. The fare is only $1.50 during off peak times and $2.25 during rush hours with greater saving using a monthly pass. Good Luck!
Answer 2 :
I think it's a little silly to live downtown and work in Kirkland. If you're commuting during normal business hours, you are going to hit bumper to bumper traffic every single day morning and evening. Kirkland is just off SR 520 which is notorious for horrible traffic. Plus, they're planning on modifying it soon, so that'll be construction on top of traffic. I think you would be WAY better off to live in Kirkland. Kirkland is actually a really nice place and has a lively downtown area and waterfront. Of course, it's no Seattle, but it is less expensive to rent an apartment there, it's a good-sized city, and it has lots to do. Plus, it takes maybe 15 min. to get into downtown Seattle from Kirkland during non-commuting hours. If you live downtown and commute to Kirkland, count on tacking on at least 45 min. to an hour each way. That makes an 8 hour work day more like a 10 hour work day. There is a good bus system from downtown to the Eastside (Eastern suburbs of Seattle), but again that's adding time onto your commute. Of course, it's up to you, but if you want to live in Seattle, I would recommend finding a job downtown.
Answer 3 :
The commute would be terrible! It's the way that more traffic is running, heading east in the morning and west in the evening. Doing the opposite, living on the Eastside and commuting downtown would be more feasible, though 520 is not fun to cross either way at rush hour. It just gets pretty congested. The commute back to Seattle from the Eastside at rush hour is miserable and on 520, you need 3 people to be in the carpool lane, which will moderately help. In terms of mass transit, Metro does have buses that run from downtown to the Eastside and so does Sound Transit. The 255 runs from downtown to Kirkland, the Sound Transit 550 runs from downtown Bellevue into Seattle, and there are various buses that also run back and forth and to the University District. They will help, but the buses can only go as fast as the rest of the traffic will allow, so it's not perfect. It's WAY less frustrating to let the bus driver take it, though! You could also realistically bike around the lake on the Burke-Gilman Trail from downtown to Seattle and only will intersect with automobiles at a few intersections, avoiding car traffic for the most part
