Looking for thoughts on best cities to live in the Seattle area for education, school districts, quality of life, etc. Any ideas would be appreciated!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I placed a pin on the map for each answer to this question that was offered by one of the commenters on LinkedIn.  The 61 different answers ranged south to Northeast Tacoma, north to Mukilteo, West to Bainbridge Island, and East to Duvall.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck making any sort of rational decision based on that advice.
