Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -Poulsbo sits at 170.3 per 100K. Median household income is $95,774, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a small town city with about 11,962 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Let me know your thoughts.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value nightlife, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely excellent and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Riverside) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Chicago, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.
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.
