We are considering a job-related move to Seattle and are struggling to pick areas to focus on in our house search. I have all of the basics on prices, house sizes, etc covered by other resources and local friends without children, but was wondering if there are any areas where Davidson families or families with kids who tend to fit into this forum might cluster. This would be another data point that could help us narrow down our search. We will fly in for a few short househunting trips over the next few months, but we definitely need to narrow the search area.
I know that kids can be happy most anywhere with a loving family but it would be nice to find kids who have similar interests and issues. We are not trying or planning to limit any friends he might have, it is just nice to find a kindred spirit...
We will telecommute most of the time so commute is not an issue.
My son is still very young. I have seen that there are two gifted preschools in Bellevue, the Bellevue Discovery Center and BK Play. Are there any play groups or meet up groups?
At his point he is under 3 and doing some self driven early reading and 1st grade math. We are seriously thinking about skipping preschool and finding friends in other activities like gymnastics, horseback riding, soccer, or swimming. Those activities are pretty common here. Are they common for 3-4 year olds in Seattle? Is there another activity that is more common?
I would welcome any comments, advice, or thoughts either here or by private message. Thanks so much!
