Seattle has a pretty high cost of living.
I did a quick check at salary.com and found the following:
cost of living is 18% higher, so you'd need to make $35,656 if you are currently making $30K
salaries for comparable jobs are 4.1% higher, so you'd make about $31,243 there if you're making $30K now
All that could vary depending pon where you specifically live now and what part of town you'd want to move to... it could easily be much higher or lower.
At $30K/year and $600/month for an apartment you'd probably have less than $1K left over each month for all your expenses, i.e., food, utilities, phone, transportation, misc. clothing and fun money. A room mate might be a good idea!
