Mukilteo Make the Top 10 in Money Magazine

Mukilteo is a quiet, suburan city just 25 miles North of Seattle. It has an award-winning school district, beautiful views of the Puget Sound, master-planned neighborhoods, and an overall charming appeal. Money Magazine seems to agree.

The Money Magazine list of the top 10 best places to live list was just released, and Mukilteo checked in at number 10. This is a big accolade for a city that is many times overshadowed by its larger neighbors. The homes were selected based on good schools, affordable homes, low crime rates, and strong economies.
