Seattle proper -> MSFT campus?

That commute is the main reason I've never entertained any thought of joining MSFT. The choices are to live in comically stereotypical suburbia, or to suffer that commute daily.

I live in Kirkland and work at Amazon.

Avoid the lake and move. I was much happier after I left MSFT and reduced my commute to 12 minutes.

I prefer the east side for my two kids. My wife also likes it. If it was just me, I'd have no problem living in Seattle.
