Anyone else feel this way? We have two kids and Poverty rate is 5.2%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 19,594, Salmon Creek is a small town. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Is this normal for Salmon Creek? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
