Where is the best place to move in or around Seattle?

My wife and I are tired of the Desert sun and want to get far far away from here. I once visited Seattle on a tour and LOVED it. I am a Freelance photographer and Artist so we would like to be in a place where the arts are appreciated. However, we are family people and do not want to be around a lot of parties and such. Ideally the place would have a nice shopping center near by, organic market, and little cafes. Can anyone help us???

Sounds to me like you need to be in Fremont!

Basically, Fremont is about 5 miles north of the heart of downtown. This means an easy drive, bike ride, bus ride, or even walk into the city. Fremont also plays host to a TON of cool cultural festivals, shows, outdoor cinema (AWESOME), etc. It’s what us Seattle natives refer to as the ‘artsy’ area of Seattle. Street festivals, PCC Natural Markets, cute little boutique shops lining the streets — but if you get a mile out or so, you find cute little neighborhoods with kitchy houses and quirky neighbors. !

The main strip of Fremont (Fremont Ave and N. 34th area) can get a bit raucous at night, and especially on weekends, but if you head a bit outside that area, towards Ballard (E) or north towards Green Lake, it’s a lot quieter, but still close enough to all the action that you can still feel urban!

hope this helps!
