Planning a move to SeaTac -neighborhoods?

Curious what people think. My family moved here when I was a kid. Poverty rate is 8.4%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Has anyone dealt with this? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I've lived in The Heights for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Close to major attractions
- The job market scene is improving

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
