entity framework / linq query construction

Question

I have the following tables:

Project:

Id
SettlementId
...

Settlement

Id
Name
AreaId

Area

Id
Name
...

I need to get all settlements that belong to a particular area (i get the areaId from the selected dropdownlist) that are not part of any project.

So far this is my query:

var settlements = (from s in entities.Settlements
                  where s.AreaId == selectedAreaId
                  select s).toList();

Am not entirely sure how to filter out the settlements that are already part of an existing project.

Thanks for your time!
