Listen "How much does it cost to live comfortably in Seattle?"
Episode Synopsis
Seattle is one of the wealthiest and most expensive cities in the U.S. One out of every fourteen Seattleites is a millionaire. By some estimates, costs in Seattle have risen more than 20% in just a few years. On today's episode, we ask more than 300 Seattleites: How much money would it really take to live comfortably in this city of millionaires? And if you can't make enough, what can you do to feel more comfortable here? Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
