Seattle life
From PublicWiki
This page is for general information on living as a student in the UW-CSE dept. and the Seattle area.
Note that we have recommendations for various places in the Seattle area, as well as a compilation of mailing lists and so forth.
Contributions and suggestions are welcomed! Just use the "edit" link on this page.
Recommendations that don't fit in the existing categories:
- Recommended by Craig Kaplan: FlexCar is a car sharing program that's great for occasional short trips if you don't want to own a car and rental is overkill.
