Love the community, family oriented and caring. The community looks out for each other. I love the events put on downtown. Our lake is beautiful and the Mountain View’s are amazing!
I still live here. It's a wonderful community, and for such a little town, it has some great sights to see. The people here are friendly, the neighbors hospitable at least from my experience, and it's relatively safe. We have a really good school district and quite a few places for kids to play (mostly various playgrounds.) The lake is refreshing and the views of the mountains are unbelievably beautiful. On a sunny day, the beaches are amazing. A good place for kids to stay. It has some stores and restaurants, and quite a few missing kitten posters. The air is clean and there is a lot of plant life. It's a temperate climate, and we get some good snow sometimes. The summers here are the best. It is very peaceful in a lot of neighborhoods. You hardly even notice the quiet sound of frogs at night that soothe you off to sleep. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, honestly! (I did grow up here, so this town is my home and my perfect place.) I do recommend it.
The Lake area is absolutely gorgeous throughout the year, and it's definitely memorable during the summer. The surrounding area is a little less pleasant, but its still green and refreshing. There's a lot of fun places in Lake Stevens for both Adults and Families, and lots of amazing restaurants. Lots of ethnic restaurants. Although regarding the neighborly acceptance, the Seattle freeze definitely reaches over here. Not many neighbors like to talk to recently moved in folks, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, I'm glad to live here! Now if only we could get rid of that pesky rainy Washington weather!
