Located east of the Puget Sound, Everett is a great place for retirees who enjoy Washington’s absence of income tax and scenic views without paying Seattle’s sky-high prices. A reasonable cost of living makes Everett a solid retirement choice, and more than 11,000 seniors call the city home. Not only is Everett a fairly walkable and bike-friendly city, but it’s also connected to Seattle and Tacoma through Sounder Transit, which offers seniors half-price fares. Retirees looking for the great outdoors will find it via a walking trail around the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary. Fishing is also popular, and seniors over 70 get steep discounts on a Washington fishing license. Baseball fans can join the Silver Sluggers Club for discounted admission to Everett AquaSox games.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
