Hope I didnt scare you off. Its a lovely city but yeah I would expect it would be tight on 65k a year for two. If you rent a 1 bedroom then maybe talking more like $1600/mo. Food for two its probably possible to do on $500/mo. Gas is about $4.50 a gallon out here. I mean Im sure you can manage but yes it is expensive to live in Seattle and your lifestyle and comfort moving here from Texas would almost certainly take a hit.
