Review of Everett, Washington

Star Rating - 2/5/2006
I live just 10 minutes south of Everett in Lynnwood. Everett is fine if you dont know any better and have never been anywhere. Not to be disrespectful to the people who love it here, but we get 229 cloudy days, 79 days of partially cloudy and a whopping 57 clear days. Oh did I mention the 160 days of precipitation? We dont get all that much rain, its just that it drizzles ALL of the time. The person living in Everett isnt running into traffic because they arent leaving town. The freeway STOPS on I5 from about hwy 405 to hwy 2 and it crawls. The traffic in the Seattle area is some of the worst. And God forbid it should rain, because traffic comes to a standstill! Like its new to them or something. Lord, I cant wait to get out of this wet climate. The housing market here is inflated and I am going to make a bundle on my house. Thats the only good thing I can say about it. I have lived in Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Indiana and San Diego. This area has been the worst for climate, but the best for a place to raise my kids. The Mukilteo school district is the best in the area. If you are into IT there are lots of jobs here. Just plan on living on the outskirts of town and taking the bus. I work downtown Seattle and its a 35 min bus ride each way at $3 each direction. Most employers will pay for 75% of your bus pass because parking is $266/mo downtown! The busses run pretty regularly but you do lose some of your freedom taking the bus. I spend about 30 minutes a day waiting for the bus and then I spend another 30 reading on the way in and 30 sleeping on the way home. Its not all bad, its just that there are nicer places to live than Washington state. Life is too short to live under a cloud.
