Bellevue vs. Seattle

And while we are comparing the adjacent housing markets of Seattle and Bellevue, here is a link to a hilarious blog comparing the two cities.


Various data on the two school districts may be found here:

• The State Report Card at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction provides current and historical test scores by school and district. It also provides other detailed information by school. To drill down for the data, use the search box on the top right-hand site of the OSPI site.
• www.greatschools.org provides listings nationwide on school performance, including parent ratings and reviews.
• www.schooldigger.com is a schools comparison site which provides test score data, demographic data and neighborhood information.
• For in-depth coverage of Seattle-area and Washington schools, visit our Education channel.

And here is where you can find Cost of Living data that compares the cost of living in Seattle, relative to other cities in the United States.
