I grew up here but left for a while. Median household income is $80,299, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,391 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Thanks!

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I work in healthcare here and it's not perfect but it works for me. The job market for my field is decent. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely average and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Westside) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Seattle, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in West area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.
