    I grew up in various small towns in Washington State. As a child and teenager, I often felt bored and dreamed about someday having an exciting downtown city loft with views of the glittering nightlife. However, now that I’ve spent several years living in various large cities, whenever I visit my parents in their small Washington town I feel a sense of ease and peace that I rarely experience in urban spaces. With misty views of the mountains, quiet streets lined with evergreens, easy driving conditions, and safe paths for evening strolls, Washington’s small towns are quite dreamy. Located northeast of Seattle, near Woodinville, Washington, Duvall is a small town of a little over 7,000 people. Before Civil War veterans set up homesteads in this area, it was once home to Tulalip tribes. If you, like me, are considering the relaxing beauty of small town life, here’s some more information about this lovely Washington spot. Neighborhood Stats Duvall is the third safest place to live in King County, with crime rates 83% lower than Washington’s average. Residents describe this spot as having an old country town feel, with friendly neighbors, antique stores, and plenty of activities like summer concerts, holiday…Read more

    If you’re like me, you might have trouble deciding where you want to settle in the Seattle area. With the city, the mountains, the Puget Sound and its islands, and the countryside full of farms and wineries, I am always wishing I could have five or six houses scattered around Washington. Luckily, however, there are places to live like Gold Creek. Gold Creek is a quiet neighborhood between Mill Creek and Snohomish, Washington. Nestled among the Cascade mountains and the Puget Sound, in one of the true centers of activity in Washington, this area is one of the most gorgeous and convenient places to live in the state. Vancouver, Canada is a little under 100 miles north, Seattle is 20 miles south, and the San Juan Islands and the Olympic Peninsula are just short ferry rides away. Neighborhood Stats As of 2010, Gold Creek had about 2,300 residents. While this neighborhood is small, it’s close to several exciting hubs, including Seattle ( about a 30-minute drive) and Everett (about a 20-minute drive). Because of its convenient location, Gold Creek is popular among families, couples, and single individuals who work in the nearby cities and want to enjoy a relatively short…Read more
