The 10 Best Places To Live In Washington State

Named for the first president of the United States. Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
With more than 7.4 million people, Washington is the 18th largest state, with an area of 70,000 square miles, and the 13th most populous state.
Washington is a breathtaking wonderland of perfectly landscaped beauty.
It has more glaciers than the other 47 contiguous states put together, with a classic Pacific Northwest terrain marked by the Cascades and a treasured coast.
With a booming job market fueled by the tech industry in the Seattle area, along with a temperate climate, it’s easy to see why Washington is one of the most popular states in the country.
Washingtonians enjoy some of the highest incomes in the nation, ranking 12-highest in terms of per-capita personal income. This is also one of seven states that don’t pay state individual income tax.
Here are the 10 best places to live in Washington State based on crime rate, school system excellence, home affordability, and growth and prosperity.
10. Olympia.
9. Spokane. (best for jobs, retiree)
8. Bellingham. (best place to retire)
7. Tacoma. (best place to find a job)
6. Pullman.
5. Kirkland.

Quite. The only other thing AS disturbing as the choice of cities on the list is the fact that they're all metro-centric and north of the Latitude 46°. I've lived in Vancouver for 31 years and I've always enjoyed this community as a palatable blend of urban vs. rural; and it has a wealth of history behind it. Vancouver was the first permanent settlement in Washington by Brits and Americans and came perilously close to being Washington's capital. Sits right on the Columbia River and has a wealth of recreational activities within a 50 mile radius. Ignore Portland right across the Columbia R. and Vancouver has everything this Puget Sound-centric video displays and more. World-class university, lots of high tech industry, an as-yet affordable housing market, and nature and recreation is mere minutes away.

[@gabyd.530]

No my friend, the comments you are referring to are not written to keep outsiders away. This video is indeed incorrect. Tacoma, Yakima and Everett, - among many other areas- have always had a bad reputation for a good reason. You do need to come and see for yourself. Even the most dangerous areas have beautiful places, just do not be fooled by it. If you are planning to move to WA state, you truly need to do some serious research, even more so if you have children! I lived in beautiful Mill Creek, WA for 21 years. It is still beautiful and mostly safe. Left in 2018 and miss it dearly, compated to Texas where I live now ( unfortunately). However, many of the places mentioned in this particular video are actually on my banned list, for many reasons. Please do your crime research by zip code/location in order to pick a safe place to stay. Washington still has a lot to offer, but you need to pick a good location. I recently spent 11 days visiting a friend near Seattle ( Georgetown area, close to Tukwila 😱😱) and was afraid of going out even in daylight! The type of people walking around the area intimidated me. It is diverse in a bad way. If you end up visiting WA, please share your experience by leaving a comment here. Good luck!

[@drewlombard5679]

A locals review, just thoughts that come to mind. 10. Olympia. Cheap to live, but just about nothing to do. There are some good local restaurants run by small business owners. It's close to the military base. 9. Spokane. (best for jobs, retiree) Decent to live but on the other side of the state, not much to do compared to Seattle. Lots of wineries, hot in summer, snow in winter. It's like living in the midwest but in Washington. Usually called Spocompton 8. Bellingham. (best place to retire) Cheap to live, honestly just put Seattle and Bellevue in the middle of a bullseye and the farther you're from the middle the lower the prices are. But the jobs are in the middle. Close to Canada, kind of a sleeper town, more people go to Spokane from Seattle then they do Bellingham. College down, but not as bad as Pullman. 7. Tacoma. (best place to find a job) Literally smells like manure, all the time. Ruston is awesome, but there is hilltop which has parts the cops don't go because there's so much gang activity. 6. Pullman. College town, if you're not in college there is no reason to live here other then prices or loving WSU? 5. Kirkland. Awesome town, expensive to live. There's a community event every week and a great waterfront. 4. Bellevue. (best to raise a family, find a job) The richest town, beautiful nightlife. Lots of designer stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Everything is expensive though. 3. Bainbridge Island. Don't know much, but you're on an island so you live here to get out of the city, 2. Redmond. (best to raise a family) Redmond is where Microsoft is, huge Indian population, lots of good food and local bars. 1. Seattle. (best to raise a family, find a job) Lot's to do, lots to see, but way too expensive to live here. Think New York. Live in the suburbs and just visit if theres something you want to do.

This person is reading facts off internet, I've lived in Washington my entire life and I've NEVER witnessed the utopia of Washington they're describing. Seattle... used to be a fun place to visit, now it's not even worth going too. Let alone ALL the imported tech employees ruining the cool vibe and culture our state once had. Notice they didn't tell you it would take 1.5 hrs by car, longer by bus/train just to travel less than 30 miles, and that's if there's no accidents or construction, didn't say we rank among the worst drivers in the country. They also didn't explain our Seattle-ized economy. People sold their cars for uber/Lyft because parking anywhere is outrageous! Uber/ Lyft is cheaper (even 20 miles into cities) paying both ways, than daily parking rates. They didn't talk about how a studio will cost $2,000-$4,000/ month near these tech locations, nor did they talk about how house prices for a fixer upper, 3 bedroom 1 bath 1950's rambler, not updated since 1950, will cost at least $600,000 within 15 min of Amazon/ Microsoft, or Boeing (etc.) Seattle. Yes we're within 3.5hrs by ferry and car to Pacific Ocean (if you can sail here you can sail anywhere) and 1-2hrs by car to mountains (if you can hike here you can hike anywhere, much easier), unless it's first fire season, when our usually cleaner city air becomes worse that Bejiing! The cost to live here has quadrupled + since 2010 when Amazon moved in. Plus they didn't tell you, there's a 621 mile tectonic plate stuck with an oceanic plate just 100 miles or less off our coastline, (40% chance of creating our own Japan or Shri Lanka event, only much worse, because we're not even close to prepared for it. On average, the fault produces a 9.0+ megaquake every 240 and it's been 319 years since the last one. They didn't tell you were in an area with active volcanoes (MT. ST. HELENS)..... 4 seasons? What, misty rain, grey and dry, get your kayak ready, and WTF 90-100 can't breathe haze of Bejiing. Hoping every winter climate change stays steady so theirs no snow in winter and people can still drive, just not to a grocery store because the shelves ste empty. This was a waste of time watching.

[@AdakStillStands]

The #1-5 cities on the list are in truth the MOST EXPENSIVE cities in WA to (try) to live in! High taxes, nightmare traffic and transit, homeless everywhere. A great place to visit tourist traps, cruise in/out, spend on overpriced everything, then go home. Yes, I've lived here since 1960 and saw the development of it all but moved and happily raised my family in a small WA town.

You should be a good tech specialist to live in a nice neighborhood of Washington. Otherwise, you will live under Seattle bridge because $12/hour is definitely not enough to pay rent.

Ikr. Mercer Island is probably the best place to live, other than the fact that there is a school built directly on top of a fault line, but let's ignore how bad people are at doing geological surveys

[@paullopinto2777]

Lived there in 80-82. I think the elementary school was called Mercer Crest or something. Had a high school right next to it. Might have been called Mercer Island elementary. Maybe the apartment complex was called Mercer crest, I can’t remember. Been almost 40 years.

@Catherine Shaw, Having lived in New England, Willimantic,CT , The 62”’of snow Spokanians endured then is a dusting for New Englanders. But having lived in Eastern Washington State since 2000, I’ve literally witnessed motorists in Spokane having hissy fits over 6” of snow on the ground. Must be the newbies from down south because native Spokanians take any and all weather in stride.

Awe. It saddens me that so many people feel so badly about the state they live in. I've been here now for 25 years. Been here been there. This video states it's the top 10 reasons to live in Washington. Not top 10 reasons not to. There is a video for that subject too. I listened to the clip 2x and read lots of comments. I agree very much about all the things that were commented on. Almost every place and country if not all have the same exact problems we all complain about here. But it still is a beautiful state, wonderful people, great weather (most of the time). Wonderful food. Diversity in lifestyle and cultures. We have the list of bad things too. Homelessness, garbage, crime, rising cost of living. Our leaders, people right now just disagree but we truly love our state and people. I do any way. Take care.
