Tired of sitting in hours of traffic on your way to work?
What are the best cities to live in if you have a daily commute to work in downtown Seattle?
A recent study revealed the TOP 10 cities for commuters near Seattle.
The cities were ranked by a points system based on factors such as, commute time, housing, crime rates, and school ratings.
10. Mercer Island, with a score of 69.8, has the shortest commute of any top 10 city, along with the highest-ranked schools and lowest crime rate, but ranks lower due to its $1 million median home value - twice as high as Issaquah.
9. Edmonds, with a score of 70.2, boasts a good blend of all criteria important to commuters. With access to the Sounder Train and the waterfront it has a lot to offer.
8. Mountlake Terrace, with a score of 70.5, has the most affordable housing of any of the top 10 cities.
7. Bellevue, with a score of 70.7, has one of the shortest commutes but ranks lower than other cities due to its higher housing prices.
6. Kenmore, with a score of 71.3, has the second-lowest crime rate of all the top 10 cities.
