Woodinville, Cottage Lake Named 'Best Places To Live' In Washington

Woodinville and Cottage Lake made the list of 100 best places to live in the state, according to Niche.com.

WOODINVILLE, WA - It seems like there's a new list every week ranking this or that city as "best" in something. But so what? It's always nice to get recognized for being a good place to live. Woodinville and Cottage Lake came in back-to-back on the list. (Redmond topped the list because of its proximity to tech jobs, proximity to Seattle, and good local restaurants ), which was compiled by the website Niche.com

The website used data points like school quality, housing trends, employment, crime stats, and access to amenities to evaluate a community.

Here are the top 100 (Note: most of the list was made of up neighborhoods in Seattle; we have removed those from the list, but you can see the full ranking here):
