Did you look at areas that haven't been gentrified? Plenty within 1 hour of Seattle that are affordable.

  That's more or less where I ended up buying, and managed ~400 for a respectable 3b2b. That being said, the gentrification is spreading so aggressively and was already well in place even when I bought; in the last month 3 of my neighbors went on sale, all sold within a week at far higher prices than comparable for when I bought. (I only had... 2 other bidders, if I recall, when I bought, so it's certainly less hot than redmond where 10-15 competing was common)
