It's pretty but there's not much else worth living here for. If you want to shelter your kid from the world, you can try to live here, but your kids will probably hate you for it, and will desperately try to pretend like they have had something interesting happening in their life, so obviously drugs become a problem, though no one would admit it.
There's nothing to do, and not much to see, people keep to themselves, it's completely car-centric so the streets are completely dead, there are no public spaces, no central culture, your kids will have no independence, so get ready to raise your grandkids because your kids would have never had to make responsible choices before.
I know it looks nice on paper, house prices are okay, and crime is very low, but the cost of that is ultimately removing the sense of purpose and romance in you and your kids life. You'd be better having homeless people on the street, then doming yourself to existential insignificance, shrouded in obscurity.

Beautiful trees, lakes, wild berries, and friendly forest animals abound. Wish was also the case with respect to good restraunts, and entertainment options!
The Klahanie neighborhood in Sammamish is where it's at. HOA with multiple pools, access to Front Street in Issaquah, decent local shopping and groceries nearby. The schools are great and there are several camps during the summer that are outdoors. It is a bit of a bubble because the locals are so connected and kind. I have to kids under 5 and it's been a dream compared to Seattle.
