Marysville 3 years ago. It's a short 50 miles north of Seattle. Housing is a little more affordable here - we were able to get a 3 bed 2 bath for around $600K. But that was 3 yrs ago, housing is now bumping up. If you work at home that's a big plus. We are close to the mountains and the views on clear days are spectacular. We can see from Mt Baker to Mr Rainier. Summers are pretty fabulous. Hop skip and a jump to Canada.
