I'm Orthodox, from Miami, and recently spent 10 days in Seattle. We did our research but even so, it was a bit challenging managing to keep halacha in the city (hotels with credit card keys on Shabbat are always a problem), though in general, we actually found it pretty easy, especially in the kosher dept, as having Bamboo Garden some 8 blocks from our hotel meant we always had a kosher dining option available. I am also a convert, so good luck on your conversion. It looks like my wife and I will want to move to Seattle, so the info here has been good in giving us starting points for our research.
