Seattle ruins the WHOLE state.

Buddy i hate to break it to you but it aint the traffic thats driving folks away, its the cost of living, crime/saftey concerns, open drug use, home break-ins, car jackings, shootings, and hamstringed emergency services not properly staffed and not able to do their job and/or refusing to do their job. I live in Kent and have for the last 35 years of my life. If i could afford to id leave this state and never look back. Geographically i love washington, but the people here make it a complete shithole, at least in king and pierce county. Edit: oh and i also forgot the eroding of our constitutional rights, namely the 1st, 2nd and 4th ammendment rights. 1240 anyone?

Ban ranch dressing and Led Zeppelin in WA for 160 years.

Don’t move here.

Disgusting cookie cutter development

crime in Renton/Kent/Auburn has drastically increased over the last few years as well. when I leave it will be for a different state entirely.

We get it bro. You have a bias. We all can tell you like it here plus you're a real estate agent. Who gives a flip of you have lower property taxes if you can't buy a decent house fir under a million. I'd rather buy a mansion in Texas for 250k than a walkin closet with an outhouse for 400k in Seattle Also crime is way worse because people just don't report it anymore And the rain and grey for soooo many months is so depressing. Moved from Texas 6 years ago and cannot wait to get out of this hell hole

Every one I knew from there moved away.

Seattle is more scenic than Portland, but both cities are very much alike in my opinion. it's still the Pacific Northwest.

Really annoying and wrong analysis! Haven’t heard an annoying scammer realtor for the market right before the crash in a while. Go to reventure consulting to get free zip code level analytics and don’t listen to this Seattle idiot

Beautiful houses 😍

I don't think you're so crazy to address us this to a negative thinking😮

In my opinion Maple Valley and Covington are in a better location with better access to nature and also the traffic/commute is not as bad. They are also about 8-10 miles closer to Seattle and Bellevue. The traffic on I-5 north of Seattle is one of the worst in the entire state.

So you think price won’t go down anymore?

What a ripoff 😂 just because you get a view of more buildings

Try Jackson Mississippi for a day, and see what you think about Seattle.

Wow, look at all those ticky-tacky boxes

As far as Rain we have the ( Rain Forest) on the coast by Town of Forks. Great camping on coast in rain forest 😊 I kind of copyed what King County did with surface water management 😊 dug my down spouts to a well of rocks in backyard. Just saying to deal with rain fall I do like how housing development must build a retention pond in new development housing sites 😊 and important that county overseeing these run off big ponds ( Federal grants) help fund them. Great for storm water control

I love how you talk about people wanting to move here 😊 do your research on commuting TIME please I can't stress that enough 😊 big thank you for talking about that. I live on west hill of Auburn ( only because of postman) is my address Auburn. I am still King County 😊 There are so many great off work time places to visit. Vason Island for one. A big secret I had to say is a private camp ground just 1/4 mile from downtown vason. (3) Just like state park camp sites 35 mile by Tacoma ferry from my home. I got a camp site from them on very busy weekend holidays that State parks were full. Take the ferry to Bremerton. Go on the Destroyer ( Turner Joy) then take walk on ferry to port Orchard ( or stay in Bremerton and go through museums of Navy base. Key port has great underseas warfare museum. City of Des Moines started a walk on ferry in summer time to Seattle waterfront. The ( Fish throwers) at Pike Place market are well worth seeing Go the Ballard and you might see crab fishing vessels from ( Deadly catch) TV show. I am just trying to talk about places in Seattle KC area you can see if you move here. Port Townsend was to be the Seattle in sailing ship days. But the Railroad only went to Seattle. Go to furthest point in US at North West corner of State( short walking trail) with benchs to look out at the Island off the coast. Take ferry ride to San Juan Island have great places to go overnight. 😊 I rode the Sounder Train to a Seahawks football game ( got free tickets) 😊 get on train if you want a seat in Lakewood or Tacoma Sumner station is a line up of fans 😊 the Light rail will take you to football game also. 😊 Just get out on the water in a boat, so much waterway in Puget Sound For people moving to Seattle there is a boat rental company ( I don't work for) just saying you can have a boat to enjoy Puget Sound without cost of boat ownership. And believe me, owning a boat in a marine slip is expensive ( yearly maintenance costs) I probably would have done a condo like boat rental service over cost of my 24 foot boat with slip at a marina. This guy talking about Gig Harbor There is a Tavern with dock you can raft up your boats, to enjoy the tavern drinks and food, downtown Gig Harbor is all walking, dont need vehicle. 😊 Great different types of food vendors.

Stupid time to buy bro... Come on man...

I would like to give a very big shout out to the downtown area of (REDMOND 😊) the Restaurant are A+ no homeless on street. The Manager of the Restaurant liked my mini Australian Shepherd so,so much. He like come with your dog my friend, that we EAT at the outdoor table, he brought out FOOD for my dog under my wife's chair. In my 65 years of living in South King county This Restaurant was very much DOG friendly at outside heated seating 😊 Sorry for not remembering the name I will go back and text name of Restaurant in future video you do. Downtown ( Redmond) is my favorite of all the city core development types in Seattle KC area.😊

The biggest problem I have with NEW construction Housing development. How close the homes are built to each other. My biggest pet pev on these developments is the squeeze in home with drive going right beside two homes. I bought my house on west hill of Auburn in the mid 1980s ( hud repo) the people had just walked away because Interest went through the roof. I at least have a pie shaped wedge lot in my cul-de-sac. I can park my vehicle on side of house with lots of room. 😊 I have lived in King county my entire 65 years.

I'll say this,born in wa 1978 and raised in king county original Washingtonian here,I've seen the rise of prices go thru the roof,to the point that seattle is starting to look like San Fran or New york,big problems too expensive and that's why people are leaving

Just moved. Mental health instantly improved. The weird people are enough. Smile in your face and act nice but are really demons in disguise. The women sleep/ talk to/ deal with 3-5 men at a time. You can’t go anywhere to eat and expect to spend less than 15-20 dollars for a simple meal. Gas prices. The male to female ratio. Seattle is where women dominate and run things. As a man, NO THANKS. They also let the homeless operate with impunity. You could literally get a group to go boost for you because the police don’t mess with them. They are selling stolen items all over downtown. Along with smoking blues in public and sh*tting in the alleys.

The people, weather, traffic, food scene, lack of diversity and prices suck.

I moved to Seattle area a few years ago. And less than a year, I started missing Midwest. Here many people are rude, no manner, ... No offense.

To be a homeowner north of Seattle a household income of a minimum off $500k is needed. So much for the middle class in Seattle, eh?

Man. I love Seattle. It’s my City.

All these "master planned communities" with zero privacy and cookie cutter homes are my personal idea of hell. I live in the woods on a 1 acre lot in Woodinville and cannot be happier.

Communism takeover has ruined our once beautiful state. Inslee, Dow and Ferguson belong in jail.

It's a BLUE SOCIALISTS GOVERNMENT LEAD STATE. DA ?

Really sad about 10 trails, Black diamond would be better off with less people & all the development. Used to be all fields & forrest where that is now

The Queen Anne District around MacCaw Hall/Phelps Building/Cornish Playhouse in the 70s and 80s was extremely bad. Nobody wanted to live there. Eventually, that area turned itself around.

Get rid of the Targets and Walmarts and other junky ‘big-box’ stores, and put in more arts-oriented organisations, and FW, Kent, and Auburn will grow into great suburban ‘cities’.

A lot of the ‘cities’ don’t want to be any better than they are because nobody in them wants to pay for anything to make them better.

I'll tell you another reason why people are moving out of those areas because they're being inundated with foreigners. People from india, ukraine, Mexico or South America. Not to mention the traffic is horrendous! These very same people especially from India, seem to also be moving into Snoqualmie. Mostly nice people but yes, getting very overcrowded. I often wonder why folks come here and they still keep the same old customs and practices and attitudes that formed in their countries. If those same actions and attitudes didn't make your country great so you want to move here, maybe you should try this assimilate more into American society and values not to mention speaking English? I'm sure some have done that but America's great for a reason, don't come here just to take advantage of things and not bring any value to the culture or society. I'm sure there are people that are doing that, but I just I wonder if they take into consideration why they left their own country. People want to move to America and European countries but they never asked themselves that question. I've never been to Mercer island, but I bet if I go there, it's going to be the same. Another reason is people's housing values have gone up so much, a lot of long-time residents are selling and moving to quieter areas.

Seattle sucks. The most unfriendly and unwelcoming people on earth. Very passive aggressive. If you didn't grow up with or go to college with a seattleite, you can't be friends. No talking to strangers allowed in Seattle

Seattle grocery store bathrooms are pretty gross, and almost all of them require you to humiliate yourself and ask a store employee for the code. Why is it that way? Because city leadership does nothing to enforce vagrancy and drug laws, so locking up the restrooms is the only way stores can keep them from becoming filthy shooting galleries.

Cheapest? lol

Maple valley is a lot better than Lake Stevens in terms of traffic. The traffic north of Lynnwood is one of the worst in the entire state. There is no relief even on the weekends.

What is the 2nd planned community besides 10 trails?

You missed the mark talking about taxes. The original video was referring to leaving King County/Seattle Suburbs. Showing the entires state avg on taxes is a completely different conversation. Show Seattle/King county and this changes the conversation. Sales tax is 10.35% is Seattle (almost 2% higher than your video shows for the state. Property tax in Seattle is 1.05% vs the 0.88% shown. Based on the median house price that 0.17% is $1700/yr difference. This is why people in Seattle are moving out of the state or to different parts of the state. Get your facts straight my guy.

How much was Ted bundy paying when he lived in Seattle?

Hi bro im Algerian i prepare to immigrants in Australia what do you think about real estate Australian market?!

I used to live in Maple Valley. Traffic in Black Diamond and Maple Valley has become horrendous over the last five years or so. It was one of the major reasons I moved out of there. It was a nice, quiet place to live before the all the massive development started.

Thanks for all the statistics and info but I don't know anybody (family and friends and co-workers) that could afford to buy a home in the greater Seattle area.

Talking about relocation in Seattle suburbs and never mentioning gentrification is the whitest thing ever.

I make 61.00hr with 4.00hr per year raises & I'll never be able to afford a home. 😥

It's not just the savings, but generally there is more competition in the spring.

Sea tac Airport is the reason those in the south end are moving. The air traffic has doubled in the past 10 years and with that comes more pollution, sounds, house vibration etc. no one wants to live down here.
