Is Everett worth moving to in 2026?

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a teacher here and Homes are going for about $532,300 on average. Rent is about $1,675/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Should I be concerned? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. safety used to be much established but now it's tough.

The food scene here is surprisingly good. Tons of great sushi places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Bought a house here in 2024 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
