New grad moving to Seattle - need advice and help

Hello, I was browsing through an old post regarding difficulty of finding New jobs in Seattle, but could not find answers to some of my questions.I am currently a senior at a school in Dallas, Tx and am planning on moving back to Seattle upon graduating (BSN). I was wondering since I don't graduate until May, when I should start applying for jobs in Seattle? Do I apply before I get my license? Do I get my license here then endorse there or just get it there? I'm seeing it is quite difficult to get a job since the area nursing schools competition. Does anyone know if UW does public recruitment fairs? Lots of questions, just need some guidance. Thank you in advance!!
