Anyone knows nice areas to live in Gig Harbor, WA? or any suggestion of cities in WA other than Seattle?

Question

relocating to WA with my 2 toddl & hubby...

Answer 1

Snohomish County - yes, very family & kid friendly....affordable housing....terrible commute to Seattle or Eastside, most days.  Best to work in the county. ..find a really good real estate agent to show you around....Best of luck with your relocation!

Answer 2

Welcome to Washington!  It's beautiful here.... Snohomish County is great too...not as expensive as Seattle.....

Answer 3

I would agree, snohomish county is a great place to live. You can live in Lynwood, Everett, Marysville, Camano Island, Stanwood, Arlington. They are all great places but if you are looking for more of a city place i would say Everett.

Answer 4

Snohomish County has many wonderful cities & neighborhoods. I live in South Everett & love it. It's close to I-5, shopping, colleges, major employers, parks, community activities, etc. yet still commutable.

South of Everett (Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace) and West (Mukilteo) tends to be more expensive.

North of Everett (Marysville, Arlington) tend be be less expensive.

East of Everett (Snohomish, Lake Stevens) also tend to be less expensive.

Answer 5

If you are relocating to WA because of a job in Gig Harbor, you should look for an apartment near where you or your husband will work.  As soon as you get settled, then that's when you look for the best place to live.  When we moved to WA, we took a 6 months lease contract which gave us enough time to find the right place to live and raise 2 young children.  Consider the school district, park district, church and accessibility to the things you are most likely to do, like camping, bike riding, snow, or boating.

Answer 6

You could try Tumwater or Lacey... But if you are movign to Seattle that would add a bit of a drive

Answer 7

We are trying to move to Vashon Island.

But  selling a house in Florida is pathetic at the moment.
