Living in Burien -the reality

Rent is about $1,742/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 7.5%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $90,597, which feels pretty solid for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
