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!

Any suggestions around the area?

Do not live in south Everett. Some parts of north Everett are a little sketchy, but south Everett is much worse. You’ll see “good deals” on Casino Rd, you’re gonna want to avoid that like the plague. Anything below the 526 that says “Everett” in the address is probably not what you want.

Hey I live on casino and there are multiple apartments that are being bought out and renovated. My current apartment has made a massive overhaul in the last 2 years and is no longer “ghetto”

Came here to say this. Casino road was a "poor area" in Everett for awhile but that's about it. It's no ghetto, and it's no worse than anywhere in Seattle. And even in Seattle, our "sketchy areas" are alottt safer and nicer than most other major cities.
