A rural Snohomish County community, north of Arlington
Country-lane living is the scene in rural Bryant, which has a population of about 2,500. It's in Snohomish County, close to the Skagit County border. To the south is Arlington, a city on the Stillaguamish River. "It's a nice area where a lot of the homes have privacy due to both terrain and vegetation," says Skip Bates, a broker with New Horizons Realty who has over three decades of experience. Set in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Bryant is forested and primarily undeveloped. There isn't much of a retail presence here, either: "You won't see the specialty shops; you'll get lagers, wine and cheap beer," Bates says.

Farmhouses, 1970s ramblers and 2020s contemporaries
Homes in Bryant include 1960s and 1970s ramblers, vintage or modern farmhouses and contemporaries. Multicar garages, fenced yards, decks and outbuildings like woodsheds are possible features. Some homes are sold with a generator included, as weather conditions can lead to power outages, and repairs may be slow due to the rural location. Most lots are forested and may include garden plots and fruit trees. The majority of properties have over an acre of land, and more than five acres isn't out of the question. Homes under 2,200 square feet typically range from the high-$300,000s to the $800,000s. Those priced from $1 million to $1.2 million are new construction, with over 3,000 square feet of space.
Rambler homes with attached garages are available for prospective homeowners.
Vintage farmhouses are available in Bryant with decks and more amenities.

State Route 9, Interstate 5, commuting to Everett
Many residential streets dead end or have a cul-de-sac, creating a calm environment without much through traffic. For trips outside of town, there's state Route 9 running through Bryant. And Interstate 5 is to the west via Stanwood Bryant Road. "It's a hop, skip and jump to I-5," Bates says.
For commuters, Everett, about 30 miles south, may be a more likely destination than Seattle or Bellevue, each about 50 miles away. "You find quite a few people willing to make that commute to Everett," says Zach Hensrude, managing broker with Re/Max Elite. Everett is the largest city in Snohomish County and a regional job center, with The Boeing Company alone employing more than 30,000. Arlington to the south and Skagit County to the north also have industrial companies.
Though Community Transit bus service is available in the county, routes do not go through Bryant. The Stanwood I-5 Park & Ride, about 5 miles west of Bryant, is one of the closest spots to access public transportation. From there, express routes head to Lynnwood and the Seaway Transit Center in Everett. The Arlington Municipal Airport is a general aviation facility. In Everett, Seattle Paine Field International Airport, also called Paine Field and Snohomish County Airport, has flights on Alaska Airlines.
Arlington Pickers is a popular vintage store nearby for Bryant residents to explore.
