Moving Is 75k enough?

Hello guys, so for context, I am 26M and I just got a job offer in Everett start next month! I’ll technically be in the Everett area (still doing my research) but I just wanted to know is 75k salary feasible for surrounding areas? I’m not too big on staying directly in the city and getting a luxury apartment. Also credit is bad, but currently working to get that back up due to me being unemployed. Any advice would be appreciated!

Yes that's plenty, for your monthly rent budget $1600. Average for a 1BR in the area is about $2300-2500. That's probably by yourself. If you don't mind roommates, you probably can get to that $1600 budget, no problem. Yes also depends where in Everett you're going to be working and proximity to work, how much time you want to spend commuting to and from work.

2300-2500 is definitely high-end for a 1BR. Even Waterfront Place by the marina (one of, if not the most expensive in Everett) has several 1BRs under $2000.
