Hey, Crime rate is something to consider -Lynnwood sits at 290.9 per 100K. Median household income is $76,439, which feels about average for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Portland about 12 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are reasonable, gas is solid.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The school system is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..
