Very Curious (Everett, Marysville, Arlington: apartment, crime, hotel)

[bebe528]

So I was always interested in moving to WA. I havent visited yet, so maybe someone here can help me choose some areas to visit and possibly move to. My boyfriend and I are in our early 20s and work in the restaurant industry as we go to school. We are looking for a quiet neighborhood close by to a larger city where there is a lot of culture. Of course, we are looking for a safe neighborhood that isnt too expensive. Can you help name some cities for me and maybe tell me what cities to avoid?? Appreciate all the help, thanks.

Look into the area from Everett North to Arlington.
There has recently been a huge amount of commercial building in the area that includes lots of resturants, also there is the Tulalip Casino and hotel complex and the Angels of the Winds Casino.
You can google both of those.
Crime is low in the general neighborhood. You can find an apartment in Marysville for a decent price. There are also opportunities for roommate and MIL quarters situations.
There is a community college in Everett and also one more north in MT Vernon.
Google and look on craigs list for Everett, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Arlington and Stanwood.
