Very nice to live, raise a family and enjoy. If you are wondering about the costs of living in this place – they are somewhere around the national average. Did you know that there is no personal state income tax here?
Bellevue
This city is located across Lake Washington from Seattle. Both of those cities are very popular amongst young professionals and millennials.

Some people consider Bellevue to be a better option than Seattle and more upscale. If you (after detailed research) decide to relocate there make sure to contact local professionals. They can do so much more than help you with your relocation. They can speed up your settling in and also they have a great solution for excess items if you have any.
Seattle
This city is known all around the globe for its rainy weather. Some people don’t like the rain and if you are one of them skip this city and continue researching other ones. But even though the weather is not so great here you can find a lot of great job opportunities and public schools are top-notch so you might want to consider Seattle. Many young people find it attractive and that’s why it’s on our “popular places in Washington” list.
Mill Creek
This is a small but still very popular place in Washington and like in every high-in-demand city the prices are a bit higher. This is a perfect place if you enjoy the small-town charm. You will find plenty of nature trails, but also an abundance of public parks and a variety of locally-owned shops and restaurants that you can enjoy in your free time. If this place sounds great and you consider relocating make sure to contact local professional movers especially if you are in need of storage. You want all your belongings to be near you and that’s why portable storage can be a good option. Movers can take care of extra stuff that you have.

Ask around, check out blogs, if you have the option go there in person and see the cities and neighborhoods for yourself. See which one looks like a home to you. If you are relocating there with your family see how they feel about it. Their opinion is also important.

Settling in
Settling in is the last thing you will need to do in this journey of yours. All of those popular places in Washington have professionals who can help you with unpacking and settling in if you are way too tired or simply have too much to do. It’s important to unpack as soon as possible so you can start making your new place a home. Furnishing and decorating will do that. Don’t worry if you feel homesick for New York at the beginning, that’s pretty common. But soon enough you will feel at home in your new place. That of course won’t be possible if you have moving boxes laying around everywhere and that’s why it’s important to unpack. If you packed correctly and labeled all the boxes it will be pretty easy.
