I moved out here 15 years ago, here's some advice I wish I had. I started with an apartment in Bellevue, but didn't really like the whole suburb vibe. After a few months I moved to a smaller, more expensive place in Capitol Hill and absolutely loved it. The commute to the east side was worth it, and it's gotten better now that the new bridge is up and running. As others noted, Seattle is booming and the job market is on fire. My advice would be to get a place downtown and unless you absolutely love your job, see if there's a company located downtown that is a better fit.
Buckley's in Belltown is the place to watch games. It can get crowded so come early. The rain thing is overblown, summers are generally pretty amazing. Be sure to get out to the mountains to hike/ski/snowboard. The Sounders games are fun, Seahawks games are awesome, and people are generally not excited about UW sports outside of the campus. Best of luck with the move!
