Situated just north of Seattle near the shores of Puget Sound in Snohomish County, Lynnwood is a great retirement destination for those who want to settle down in the Pacific Northwest. This city of 39,141 is home to approximately 6,500 seniors aged 65 and older, and there are plenty of attractions and amenities that appeal to older adults, including a municipal golf course, city-run senior's center and the upscale Alderwood Mall.
Genworth's 2020 Cost of Care Survey shows that the average monthly rate among the 42 assisted living communities in the Lynnwood area is $6,750. Assisted living rates in the area are significantly higher than the national average of $4,300, although the lack of state income tax and the proximity to Seattle may make Lynnwood a good option for seniors seeking assisted living care.
The SeniorScore is an innovative, unbiased index designed to help seniors choose their retirement destination based on over 100 factors, such as tax rates, the climate and access to health care services. Lynnwood's SeniorScore is 72, which is the same as the national average and four points above the state average of 68. Of the four SeniorScore categories, Lynnwood scored highest in Health & Safety and lowest in Finances.
Lynnwood's score of 55 in the Finances category reflects that the overall cost of living in the Seattle metro area is relatively high. Property and city sales tax rates are above the national averages, and costs for all types of long-term care are also high. Seniors should be aware that there's no state income tax in Washington, which may help retirees stretch their pension and investment incomes.
Seniors who enjoy spending time outside will find that Lynnwood has very good air quality, comfortable winters and warm, relatively dry summers. There are dozens of golf courses in the area, and an abundance of walking trails and public green spaces. In terms of Health & Safety, Lynnwood's category score of 70 is based on the fact that there are a high number of Medicare-registered physicians in the area, and the six area hospitals provide a full range of acute care services.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
Lynnwood is located just 17 miles north of downtown Seattle within the Seattle metro area, so it's reasonable to expect that assisted living costs are comparable in these two cities. According to Genworth Financial's 2020 Cost of Care Survey, seniors can expect to pay an average of $6,750 per month for assisted living care in Lynnwood, which is $1,000 more than the state average of $5,750. Compared to the nationwide average of $4,300, rates in Lynnwood are substantially higher largely due to the relatively high cost of living throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The Lynnwood area ranks as the most expensive place to seek assisted living care within Washington state. Just north of Lynnwood, rates are $900 less in Mount Vernon ($5,850), and even lower in Bellingham ($4,738) near the Canada-U.S. border. To the south, assisted living costs in the state capitol, Olympia, run about $5,138 per month, while across Puget Sound in Bremerton, seniors pay an average of $5,000 per month. In the northeast corner of the state in Spokane, rates average $5,084, while the lowest rates in Washington are found in the southeastern city of Walla Walla ($3,800).
