Either you inhabit the ritzy houses near Lake Washington, or the run-down projects. Hard to find affordable, in-between housing.

Rainier Beach is not a thriving neighborhood. Most large and well known companies are located in downtown Seattle, or in just better neighborhoods. Unless you wish to work for a fast food chain or mini-market, Rainier Beach has nothing to offer in terms of good paying, interesting jobs.

Very family orientated community. Frequently see families together at the parks. The Community Center seems to host many events weekly.
