More than anything, I'd just like a read on the six or so synagogues in the Seattle area. I have really nothing to go by other than a website.

Yelp for G*d? Satisfaction / Salvation guaranteed! Shopping around for a faith or congregation is probably the most quintessentially "American" way to do religion. Restlessness & rootlessness is in our blood. Our emigrant ancestors were selected for it.

No, in Judaism it makes perfect sense. Different congregations have different feels, personalities, views on Israel etc.
-
Right. The half-dozen I found, they all project very different vibes. Not sure what to do, other than visit every single one.
-
I think you should visit each one because the idea has a romcom feel and it will end up with you meeting a lovely Jewish girl.

Shabbatless in Seattle, with a Jewy Meg Ryan.

Mine, TDHS, has a good age spectrum. It’s in Capitol Hill, so it attracts young Jewish techies as well as families from the area. Rabbi Weiner is a great guy, approachable and not posh. His services and drashas are standard. There’s musical accompaniment but no circles.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'd looked at them. A good friend of mine who married into a Jewish family goes there. Seems like it's the major Seattle Reform synagogue. I'll have to pay a visit. Plus, that's where a young Jimi Hendrix first played!https://www.loudersound.com/features/hendrix-the-gigs-that-changed-history-1-the-temple-de-hirsch-sinai …
