Couple moving to Washington from out of state

Hi all, Military spouse here. Median household income is $47,946, which feels on the lower side for the area. The median home value here is around $96,600, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $786/month for a decent place. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
