I have a great job in my field that I enjoy. The commute is not great but is tolerable. I make well above the national or regional average for my field. At the same time, I pay for that in cost of living, but it is a nice area.

The school district that we live in is amazing. The community is very proud and supportive of good schools, programs and teachers. They use resources well for the most part. For example the high school uses the city bus for transportation rather than investing in a busing system that the majority of students would not use.

I don't think serious crime is a huge problem or at least it isn't visible. There is a police officer in our neighborhood which is nice.

Bellevue has the full range of options for dining and shopping. The old town is nice with cool little restaurants and issaquah is close by with a quaint shopping area.
