South King county sucks!

Is Everett a suburb of Seattle, or is it a town? Confused Australian who only knows suburbs to be within reasonably close radius to the city it serves.

One is better off finding something in West Seattle, or Queen Anne !

Don’t come to Seattle.. highest state and local sales tax rates, high crime, elicit drug use everywhere. Police response almost non existent. Extremely high population of homeless most of whom are drug addicts. There are far more negatives than positives. People are rude and unfriendly. The only positive is the summer weather.

Seattle's welcoming if you're not conservative....Seattle hates conservatives

Unless you are a raging leftist, avoid western washington altogether.

Background music…no.

Seattle and King County has become a really sad place. If you want to pay 400k over the average house price in the country, have your car broken into or stolen, fight the traffic and deal with the crowds and other crimes this might be the place for you.

Bellevue is too expensive for most people. A small rambler is 1.2 million😮The traffic from most parts of Seattle is terrible and 1/2 bridges has a toll. No diversity and if you are of color your children may get teased and degraded😐 Homeless people are everywhere and Bellevue is not exempt and criminals from other areas go there to commit crimes like stealing high end cars.

been in Seattle 25+ years, i'll always have a footprint in the PNW, and i am BAFFLED by this guy's choices. these areas are great if you want to feel like you live in NYC or San Fran - "walkable" sure, but crowded, noisy, busy, congested... and honestly there is no reason to move to the PNW (besides milder weather) if you dont have a car to go hiking and on road trips (you can rent one obv too) - without all the awesome outdoor stuff its just another (great) city. my three picks: Northgate Green Lake north Ballard, NOT central Ballard all for an investment angle, and a quality of life aspect. esp if you want to be in the same house for 20 years. any of the areas he mentions are strictly for the under 35 set. you dont want to be raising kids in those areas if you can help it. *fuck ANY purchase with an HOA for one thing. now if you work downtown MAYBE what he's saying makes sense but ONLY if you make $200K+ annually. also, Shoreline is booming, that's where i live, feels just like your part of the city only 10 miles north.

bellevue isn't a suburb. bellevue is the second largest city in washington.

May I make a suggestion? Instead of pointing out giant retailers such as Rite Aid, feature unique local businesses like Ostrom Drugs, and niche businesses like Kenmore Camera. It's fine to promote the smash pad for summer fun but it would be nice if you also mention that children love to visit Walace Swamp Creek Park and splash in a natural stream of cooling water the park also features trails to explore and rustic picnic areas.

Nice video but I want to point out one bit of misinformation. 19:36 I've lived in Kenmore since 1960. Log Boom Park IS NOT named for the SeaFair Log Boom. In my childhood years there were massive log booms floating on the lake there. Logging operations all around Lake Washington floated logs to Kenmore where they were loaded on trains.

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.

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.

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.

Kent? Are you serious?

Lake Forest Park is really great. Some of the most wooded neighborhoods in the Seattle metro area. The community is really great as well. We did the secret garden tour recently where people open their gardens up to the public.

These prices are insanely high. Who the hell can afford them? We are going into a deep recession/ depression. These properties will be sharply reduced in price.

I feel one of the biggest advantages to living in Bellevue is the ease driving North, East, South, or West on the freeways. Whenever there are traffic backups, the driver has more options on how to go around them.

Do not move to Everett. Don't need anymore people.

Spent at least a decade of my young adulthood living in Renton. You did NOT mention that the Costco right next to the Southcenter Mall was the world's FIRST Costco warehouse store. Moved out when it started getting too crowded/big.

He forgot one of the biggest CON. The Ultra Liberal Leadership that has caused high crime and led to the downfall. It’s a real shame!

Oh my gosh dude, you left out the BEST PART! Snohomish has a lot of GREAT antique shops, and many people go there just for those.

omgosh, dude. You left out the BEST PART!!!!! Snohomish has been known for a LONG TIME for having a large concentration of great antique stores!

Where is the chipper area in bellvue for rent a 2 bed apartment

Thanks needed this

That lower price point at 600k. Ouch.

Background music kills it…bye!

Sure, “homelessness” is something you want to avoid rather than address. You are pathetic. I would never use you as an agent.

Everett is a dump, don’t mind the homeless hanging out in the small neighborhood along with used drug needles, homeless sleeping in empty storefront alcoves. And let’s not forget having your vehicle broken into. Fun - place for sure.

Key Peninsula is heaven. Please stay on east side of narrows bridge

Low crime and homelessness in Bellevue but what will happen when the light rail is fully open? Some believe it will bring the worst of Seattle to the East side. I guess time will tell.

Thanks mate, Great Information. God bless you.

Thnk you for the information.

I remember back in the 70's when the tallest buildings in Bellevue were about 5-6 stories tall.

I moved from San Francisco to Seattle in March of 2023 and I couldn't be happier living here, it ain't cheap to live in Seattle, but definitely cheaper than SF, they call Seattle the Emerald City for its beauty and I couldn't agree more, hard to make friends and the Seattle freeze ain't no joke, it's real! 🤣

It doesn't have lightrail but it does have the sounder train that goes everett-mukilteo-edmonds-seattle that runs during rush hour hours.

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.

Dude this guy is telling all the ghetto places. Just stay where your at. Its not going to get better economically anytime soon. Those are the places you dont want to be in.

Burien, white center, federal way. Renton, kent all ghetto. Theyre trying but its all a mini oakland. This guy is full of it

Dude nothing is affordable anymore. Your in lala land. But hey your in debt too. Gotta make a buck

Bellevue sucks

Everett is a crime-ridden shithole

This guy is selling you a bag of goods. He doesnt tell you why people are leaving seattle. Its a shole now. I lived there. To expensive. Stay out of king county. Seattle was cool 25 years ago.

We are basically Nordic I.e, loggers , fishermen , farmers and the weirdest have taken over,so we don’t give shit about politics 🤔👍

I used to live in Capitol Hill. I moved to Lake Forest Park about 12 years ago.

Issaquah was once the country. Now its subarban nightmare. This guy is selling you a bridge. Traffic sucks. I lived there years ago and its still sucks.

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

The east side totally sucks insane traffic, expensive parking, karens, and enemy nationals it's basically ugly like sfv.
