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.

Robinsowwod park is large and very nice. There are playfields and an off leash dog park and jogging trails. The City park downtown is great with seasonal venues

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.
