Really good schools can be found in many Seattle suburbs, each with its own vibe. While I can't pick out specific schools or towns for you, we can look at the overall housing market to help you think about where you might want to live. Housing prices have dipped a little, which could mean more options for you to consider.
The typical home in the wider Seattle area is listed for $783,250. This is actually a bit lower than last year, down 2.0%, and a small increase of 0.4% from the previous month.
There are more homes on the market right now—11,644 active listings, which is a 20.6% jump over last year. Even with more homes to choose from, they are taking a little longer to sell, spending about 37 days on the market. That's 4.2% longer than last year.
Fewer homes are going under contract compared to the total homes for sale. This ratio is 0.41, which is down 10.1% from last year. This means that for every 10 houses listed, about 4 are quickly getting offers and going pending.
If you're looking for a home in a good school district, the slight price dip and increased number of homes for sale could give you more power as a buyer. You might have more choices and a bit more time to make a decision.

I cannot answer your question about which Seattle suburbs have the best schools. I can only provide insights based on the housing market data I have, which does not include information on school quality.
