Our read on Lake Stevens
Lake Stevens grew fast around its lake and its school district, and much of the housing stock is newer as a result. The rebuilt downtown waterfront has given the city a center it previously lacked. Lakefront is a distinct and much thinner market than the subdivisions around it.
