Seattle area info
Among other possibilities, I have a contract possibility in Seattle (UW Medical Center). I've used a few salary comparison sites, but the results were widely varied. Does anyone know of any "accurate" salary comparison sites?
For all you Seattle-area Pelicanites, I'm also looking for ballpark figures for 1 or 2 bedroom townhouse or single-family rental prices (12 months max) in above-average areas/complexes. Thanx,

It's been a while since I looked into cost of living differences between cities but when I last did that (around 1987) the only useful index was compiled by ACCRA. American Chamber of Commerce Researchers' Association.

Rents in the neighborhoods around the UW go for 1000-1400 for townhouses and small houses.
I have a small house that rents for $1200- small 800sqft 2 bedrooms,one bath place one blk off the Burke Gilman Blvd. It rents in one day usually as its nice and in a great area close to the UW, University Village Mall etc.

There are lots of great new codo/apartment highrises around the end of lake Union with views and access to great restaurants. For a 1 bedroom and den they run 1300 and up but most are in the 1500 range.

My wife is a physician at Children's Hospital, a UW affiliate. We live about a mile from UW. If you want to PM me more about the position, I might be able to get salary info (can't promise anything).

Our 950 square foot townhouse is $950/mo, but only because we've been here so long. New tenants are paying $1200/mo in the same place.

Wow! Thanx for all the responses.
HardDrive: I appreciate the offer. At this point, it won't be necessary for me to take you up on it.
