For Washington natives, I plan to move there when I finish my degree in about two years. I will be moving with my toddler daughter and teaching elementary education. Any suggestions about some places to check out, programs to get involved in,, or preparations to make before coming out? I glance at craigslist at some of the properties and I have been researching the schools and I am really liking this "Bothell". Is it as beautiful as it looks? Is it a safe place to raise a family? Are there old fashioned values there and friendly neighbors?


Any pointers, or introductions, will be appreciated.

the myth about it raining a-lot, is not a myth at all...lol but yea bothell is a good place, if you are in to education for your children however the Bellevue area have some of the top ranking schools of the nation.
