New to Seattle Area, need advice on neighborhoods

[Ananya Mohanty]

Hello , 

We are a couple in early 30s. We have just moved to Washington state and have no idea where to buy  our first home.

looking for  atleast 3bed 3 bath with a backyard ,  budget = max 1mil.

We know seattle, bellevue, redmond are out of our budget. Would love some advice on upcoming nearby cities that make sense to buy now considering light rail is expanding?
