How can i move from tulsa, oklahome to seattle washington without going broke?

My wife and i and our 8 month old son are moving from Collinsville OK to Seattle WA in 2 weeks. We have been planning this move for months but we recently have started geting rustrated with the amount of help we are not getting from UHaul. It also seems that everyone else, is twice as expensive. We want to get there with our stuff (about 1.5 bedrooms worth) and our midsized car.

These are the options we have considered: U Pack, PODS, trading our 2 cars for an SUV (Ford Explorer?) and hauling a trailer with our stuff in it. But we don’t want a crappy SUV. Something that will be reliable. It will be our only transportation besides the bus and our feet in Seattle.

How is the weather in Seattle and England different?

I am going to be spend a month in Seattle late December – January, and I was wondering what kind of clothes I should pack. My girlfriend says that it’s actually much rainier and colder in the UK (she’s stayed here herself), but my other friend who has also stayed over says the opposite.
Should I take the kind of clothes I would need at home, or do I need something warmer?

What’s the difference between living in Seattle and living in Los Angeles, CA?

I am planning to move to Seattle after many years of living in LA. The reason is because I am getting old and and I don’t see my dreams come true (movies, house, affordable living,etc).
I am planning to go to a place called Kent, WA or maybe to Grayland, WA both of them close to Seattle.
So, what do you think?

Which restaurant in the Seattle area has the most romantic atmosphere?

I am searching for a restaraunt in Seattle which would be suitable for an anniversary dinner. One with either nice views or a nice atmosphere or both, but without sacrificing the quality of the food. We had been planning on eating at the Space Needle but too many people have warned us that the food there is less then acceptable, especially for the price they charge.

Recommendations anyone?

Thanks!
