A few miles north of Seattle on the shores of Puget Sound, Mukilteo is regularly recognized as one of the best places to live in Washington, and even in the United States. It’s a small, attractive city with excellent local schools and stunning views of the water from almost anywhere in town.
Boeing is a major employer for the community, with the aircraft company’s factory just outside the city limits in neighboring Everett. With ferry service to Whidbey Island and a fairly painless drive to Seattle and the Cascade Mountains, residents of Mukilteo have the best of western Washington at their fingertips.
