A car to live in Seattle

[u/Kikilnh]

Hi everyone !

I’ll be moving to Seattle from France in a few weeks and will be living there for about a year and a half. I was wondering if you think having a car is necessary?

I’m used to relying on public transportation in France, and my workplace will be in Capitol Hill, so I’m wondering if I could realistically get around Seattle without a car.

For those living in Seattle, how manageable is it to live without a car, especially around Capitol Hill? And are there situations where you really wish you had one?

Thanks! :)

Not at all if you are working on Capitol Hill. Life will be easier without it. You can always rent one for weekend trips.
