Planning on getting a house. Partner works at Amazon and I work at Microsoft so looking for someplace with reasonable commute to both. No kids yet so not worried about great school diatricts for next 5 yearas. Any other suggestions. Woodinville ? Budget: 850k
Mercer Island
Both have an equal commute time, around an hour to seattle and 45 min to redmond on average. But with 850k you can get a nice relatively new house in Bothell , Issaquah would be for an older house. Woodinville better houses but schools not great, and you’d save around 10 min in commute
Is it an hour commute? maps show 30-40 mins.
Average, sometimes less, also it depends on where in Bothell.
Go with the Quah. It’s just straight up nicer there.
Issaquah has better schools and I90 is better for traffic. $850K can get you a good house in klahanie.
Bothell. Its same commute wise based on experience. Bothell houses are bigger and new
Bellevue is the best!
Bothell for the Northshore school district, new homes, and closer to companies in Kirkland/Bellevue
Bothell is better IMHO. Good school district and cheaper than Issaquah. If you can avoid rush traffic times, you are fine.
I would go Issaquah, much nicer town and I’d rather deal with 90 than the quagmire that is 405.
This, 405 is such a shitty highway.
Man looks like 405 is a real pain. Currently renting in Bridle Trails so always using 520 and hadn't had to deal with 405!
