... alone and depressed FOR NOW. It's ok, you're going through heartbreak and you just moved out there!
Seattle's so awesome for starting over. I'd really recommend doing a house share. It's cheap and you can live with a lot of people at various stages in their lives (settled, searching, starting over) but they'll be young and fun and mostly single and you'll have that bit of social support. My house had musical instruments, a bunch of cats, and two PS2s... we'd watch football and Colbert together, go see movies, play GTA or just kick it on the porch with some beers and gas station fried chicken. Pretty much an instant social circle.
It was a really great time and really good for getting me out of my loneliness.
If you want to meet some people you can try couchsurfing.net - a lot of the people on there are really friendly and will dig showing you around the city. It's a starting point at least...
No worries, the light is at the end of the tunnel. And if anything, you have plenty of support here.
And dude, once you're out, do not look back!!! You're leaving that chapter and going on to bigger and better things!! Btw, I also recommend getting a library card if you're a reader/movie fan. You can take out 100 items at once from the Seattle Public Library system and request them to be brought to your local branch for pickup. It got me through the winter cheaply... and yes, the winters are damn depressing. I read a lot of comic books (btw, if you're a comic fan, Seattle is home to the incomparable Fantagraphics!).
