I don't know if this will help you much since I left Seattle/Bellevue/Kirkland area six years ago....But what I will tell you is that Seattle has a very well established lgbt community, and Bellevue was just getting it's community together when I left....At the time, Kirkland didn't have anything to offer for the lgbt community...

When you leave Seattle and take rte. 520 into Kirkland (or Bellevue) these areas tend to be more conservative in nature. You will see lots of different faith systems to worship at, and it tends to be a more family oriented environment...In these areas, you are pretty much left alone.....

These areas offer much, but also be aware that you have to be able to adjust to the overcast skies (which tends to be most of the time)...The region has a long rainy season, and in the summer it can be quite humid.....

You also might want to check out the Seattle Times for additional information on the cities....It will give you a better picture on the economics of these cities and the state.

Good Luck!....I loved the area when we lived there....
