~100k for 20% down gets you a good place in the non-Seattle Western WA. Not rural, close to Seattle and Tacoma and the airport, nice weather. Monthly payment is already lower than Seattle rent and will surely continue to look better through the years. Doesn't take FAANG money to achieve - just west coast software dev money.
Before the market really caught fire in late 2020, you could've gone in under asking in this area + gotten that sweet sub-3% interest rate.
That said, I like living in the suburbs and own a (decade-old+) car.
