This is a gorgeous area to live and convenient to get into Seattle or east into the mountains, but just a bit too pricey to make it worth it in the long run for us.

This is an older neighborhood. The architecture has apparnetly changes over time given quite a bit of variation to the nieghborhood. Some of the remodled homes are a bit strange and there are some front yard design schemes that are odd, but in general there is a nice mix of home and the neighborhood has character.

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.

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.
