Moved down there from Bonney Lake and lived there for about 12 years. Loved it and its vibes. But low cost of living? NOPE! I found the price of houses, especially new builds, much higher there than up the hill in Bonney Lake. I ended up buying halfway between Sumner and Auburn instead. School district was decent though. There's NO nightlife. But it's very quaint and I always felt safe there.

Yes, homes are still pricey. But in terms of the neighboring cities, it’s a more affordable option. Here is the current data for all homes (resale and new construction) today (6/27/24): -Median home price in the entire NWMLS is $625k -Median home price in Bonney Lake is $615k -Median home price in Sumner is $555k The statistics I gave encompasses all types of residential sales that happened on the NWMLS. I apologize if this wasn’t the experience you had, but I am going off the data When you mentioned that there’s no nightlife, I agree with you. In the video I stated, “While Sumner thrives during the day with its charming streets and community events, its nightlife might not cater to those seeking late-night entertainment. A quieter evening scene prompts residents to explore nearby cities like Seattle or Tacoma, for more extensive options.”

I love Sumner and grew up there during 60-70's and love my home town and still live in the area. This video shows some very good things but sadly a little is missing. The current city council is trying to ruin its small town feel and other councils which have done to it over the years too. This used to be an agriculture town but has over the last 20-40 yrs. become basically a warehouse town! What's even sadder is the part where it states "History still matters" is a blatant lie to the city council! The photos of the Ryan house is the last of Sumner's true piece of history and the current council does not want to save the first house of Sumner and for which Sumner was built around. The Ryan's were the first mayor and first library and the councils have seen fit to not take care of it over the years and now want to "TEAR" it down and "Destroy" its last piece of its history. SO, saying where history still matters, not any longer. I've seen a lot of change and some good but a lot of bad choices and the saddest is they don't listen to the people that live here. All I can say is once history is gone, it's gone forever and the next generations don't get to enjoy the past, what made the town in the first place. The Ryan house needs to be restored and saved as Puyallup did with the Meeker mansion but sadly the way they are changing this town it don't seem likely do to their not wanting to work with the people to save it but only want to tear the past down when it should be saved.
