      Not everyone is an individual. Does that take into account a family that they might be supporting? I am not the only one that thinks Seattle is expensive - not sure why you are so adamant it is not. https://www.quickenloans.com/learn/most-expensive-cities-in-the-us https://www.quickenloans.com/learn/most-expensive-cities-in-... https://www.kiplinger.com/real-estate/605051/most-expensive-cities-in-the-us https://www.kiplinger.com/real-estate/605051/most-expensive-... https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/10-most-expensive-cities-for-housing-in-the-us https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/10-most-expensive-cities-for...
