That's part of the problem actually. We don't have much time to come down here to just look at places in person. We're having to rely on on-line listings and book listings.
As for the narrowed down area, we have to be a decent/short commute to Lynnwood/Alderwood Mall since Marina already has a job at the Lenscrafters near the mall. So we're looking at Lynnwood, Shoreline, edges of Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Brier (though I've seen nothing available there, but it'd be a not bad commute, so it's on the table) and a last-ditch effort would be looking in Everett.
