Should a Boeing Everett Employee Buy in Silver Lake, Northwest Everett, or Mukilteo?

Short answer: If price is the deciding factor, Northwest Everett has the lowest median of the three in Redfin's latest data ($665,314), Silver Lake is in the middle ($754,788) and Mukilteo is highest ($962,042 across all home types). If you want a transit backup to Boeing, Silver Lake is the area to test first, because Community Transit's Swift Green Line runs from the Silver Lake side of south Everett to Seaway Transit Center, across from Boeing's main entrance. Mukilteo is the pick to look at when you specifically want an address inside Mukilteo School District, which you confirm house by house.

This guide is for people who already work at the Boeing Everett site and are choosing where to buy nearby. Every figure below was checked on November 9, 2026. Redfin's figures cover the three months ending September 2026; its neighborhood table was last updated September 30, 2026.

Silver Lake vs Northwest Everett vs Mukilteo at a glance

Source: Redfin Everett city guide (neighborhood table) and Redfin Mukilteo housing market page. Neighborhood and city medians are different kinds of figures, so treat the gap as a starting point, not a precise comparison.

What the same budget buys by home type

Source: Redfin city guides for Everett and Mukilteo, checked November 9, 2026. Redfin does not split Silver Lake or Northwest Everett by home type on these pages, so the Everett column is citywide.

Northwest Everett: the lowest entry point of the three

At a $665,314 Redfin median, Northwest Everett comes in about $89,000 under Silver Lake and about $297,000 under Mukilteo's all-types median. Redfin gives it a Walk Score of 52 and a Compete Score of 91 out of 100, the highest of the three, so expect well-priced homes to draw competition. Northwest Everett is one of the city's named neighborhoods on the City of Everett neighborhood map, so check the map before trusting a listing's neighborhood label.

Silver Lake: the Swift Green Line option

Community Transit says the Swift Green Line runs every 10 minutes on weekdays, and every 15 to 20 minutes early in the morning (starting at 4:15 a.m.), at night and on weekends. It ends at Seaway Transit Center, which the agency describes as across from the Boeing main entrance, where riders can walk in or connect to a Boeing shuttle. Silver Lake's Redfin median is $754,788 and its Walk Score is 27, so plan on a car for errands even if the bus covers the work trip. The Silver Lake Neighborhood Group notes it is the only Everett neighborhood that also includes unincorporated Snohomish County residents, so confirm whether a home is inside city limits before you compare utilities and local taxes.

Mukilteo: higher prices, and the district question

Mukilteo's Redfin median was $962,042 across all home types and $1,164,536 for single-family homes, and homes sold in about 24 days versus about 13 in Everett. Mukilteo School District says it covers the City of Mukilteo plus portions of south Everett and unincorporated Snohomish County north of Lynnwood and Edmonds, so a Mukilteo mailing address isn't the only way into that district, and an Everett address isn't automatically outside it.

Verify the school district by address, not by neighborhood name

Everett Public Schools assigns students by primary residence address and offers its Find My School & Route tool. Mukilteo School District has its own School Finder. Run each candidate address through the right tool and save the result. This guide does not rank schools or recommend one district over another.

Test the commute you will actually make

Boeing's Everett site is large, and Community Transit notes that onsite shuttles connect different parts of the campus. Time the trip from each shortlisted home to the gate or building you use, at your real shift time, by car and by bus if that's an option. No drive times are claimed here.
