Have to disagree: Commute time from Mountlake Terrace to Seattle is not 20-30 minutes UNLESS driving off-peak hours. A typical commute (driving, public transportation) will need an investment of 50-60 minutes minimum, each way. Have commuted for years, and this has only become worse after Seattle offices returned to on-site work.
You are covering nice bedroom communities, but you are overlooking even better areas. Bainbridge Island & Poulsbo are 5 miles & 18 miles away, with very affordable housing. Poulsbo the more affordable. Why not spend 30 minutes on a ferry versus an hour in stop & go traffic? Many ride bikes to the ferry. Some guy has a lot Christmas tree on his bike every December! We live on the Olympic Peninsula, 33 miles from the ferry & 5 miles added on ferry ride. We are 1.5 hours from Seattle, which is equal to commenting from Auburn. We live among farmland and dense forests. In addition to homes being had at lower prices (minimum five acres) property tax is 1/3 of a small house in a tiny lot in Auburn), we are from Auburn.
Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, keep the population over There!! I'm on the Kitsap peninsula and like having a slower cheaper place to reside, so Shhhhhhhh!!!!!
@@RiverRatWA57 shhhhhh. We can put the cat back in the bag. Especially the big kitty, kitty. Not everyone likes the cute cougars traipsing through their yards, or the coyotes playfully howling at night.
Lived in Everett for 2 years, ‘21 to ‘23. Shopped in Lynwood. Loved it. P.S. Woods Coffee, Bothell, Issaquah Coffee Company, Issaquah, Mighty-O Donuts, Green Lake or Ballard, Seattle. 👍
Maple Valley, North Bend have better access to Bellevue which is a better employment hub than Seattle. Burien's great if you like planes flying on top of your house
Umm...you left out Lakewood WA. I pay $675 a month for my own place. There's multiple train/bus stations just a few blocks away from my home. Lots of foot traffic shopping. Lots of restaurants. I can walk to the station and be in Seattle in about a little over an hour. "Public overnight camping and open drug use" is strictly prohibited.
LMAO, The median rent in Lakewood, WA, for a 1B/1Ba is $1,549. Furthermore, you're unequivocally delusional if you think what you typed holds any shred of validity. Lakewood is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the worst locations in the Seattle Metro area to live. Was also routinely featured on numerous seasons of Cops going all the way back to 1987, has and continues to have one of the largest gang and drug issues in the state and also features a violent crime rate of 23 per 100K people. Thanks for the laugh, though
No state income tax BUT 'they' get U in many, many way... ... sales tax is above 9.99% in every community ... service labor is taxed, that's right, like if a plumber charges U $2k labor, the labor is taxed ... service fee's on everything Having said just that much all of the above is not happening in every community in Calif.
Lifetime resident greater Seattle area. Burien? Too close to White Center aka Rat City, too much crime; hard pass. Renton? Used to be great, now more crowded and more crime, no thanks. Kent - still a decent place. Likewise for Auburn - but a bit south to Lake Tapps/Bonney Lake/Sumner preferable. Mountlake Terrace - too expensive but Edmonds SD is good. Lynnwood - too much crime. Pass. Everett? Never liked it much but lots of Boeing workers up there and pretty affordable.
Hilarious. North Bend is 35 minutes to Safeco. Mercer st in Seattle from Westlake Ave to I-5 (about 4 street lights) takes 45 min-1 hr. Proximity by distance means shit. Having said that North Bend is no longer affordable. 10 years ago it was 1/3 of the price it is now.

What!? We never deal with traffic around here ;)
Love the information! Please turn down (or eliminate) the music. It is not necessary.
We love North Everett, Riverside...

Light rail link extension into Lynnwood running by Summer 2024...like you said Lynnwood is the best affordable suburb in Seattle area.
South Everett forever ❤😊
So many cool spots in Everett!
One is better off finding something in West Seattle, or Queen Anne !
Maple Valley, North Bend have better access to Bellevue which is a better employment hub than Seattle. Burien's great if you like planes flying on top of your house
Northbend was a great place to live. Then the liberals moved in. Wait till the big crash happens then their really going to hurt
Can you recommend any Property management companies that work with garbage credit? Like that just have less invasive requirements
Kent? Are you serious?
Yes he is, and stop calling him Kent.
Kent is full of scumbags. I couldn’t move out of there fast enough.

Lakewood would be an option but I prefer breathing.

North Eastern Washington is the best

Kent? Lol oh boy...
Oh boy O'Berto!
Seriously wouldn’t move to Kent unless stray bullets don’t bother you.
Nothing wrong there, lived there and the crime areas are concentrated and confined, kent is huge
Dude nothing is affordable anymore. Your in lala land. But hey your in debt too. Gotta make a buck
South King county sucks!
