SLC is one of those hidden gems that people are (unfortunately) starting to find out about. If you're thinking about moving here, do it before the Seattle-like cost of living makes it here.

I grew up in Utah, but had no idea how easy it is to access so many hiking trails and skiing from Salt Lake City. That's been my favorite part about living in the city!

Also, I love how the work "heck" was used. So cliche of Utahans. 😂

Mountains everywhere...and yet every time you ask a local which way is East, they say "Towards the Mountains."

Agreed, Salt Lake has an incredible community.  So many people are involved and there's always something awesome to do.

Our pilot episode gives a brief overview of life in Salt Lake City. To get it, we interviewed employees of Clearlink, an SLC-based digital marketing and sales company. Salt Lake City is one of those places that feels like it’s about to really explode, population-wise, thanks to its strong economy, stunning geography, and varied seasons. Our Salt Lake City podcast series will help potential movers and travelers understand what awaits them at their destination. In this episode:

City Stories is produced by Move.org, which is owned by Clearlink. The decision to highlight Clearlink for our pilot episode was a cinch, and we thank them for allowing us to do it. We look forward to branching out in the future.

#1 - Salt Lake City

Each episode we explore a city by chatting with the locals. To find them, we visit a local company and spend the day interviewing their employees. Our goal is to help movers, travelers, and curious people better understand American cities.
