I used to own a cabin in Index years ago. Beautiful area but somehow it always felt isolated and wanting. Many of the folks are very poor and clannish. Big meth problem as well. In winter the roads are very dangerous. I lived in the cabin while working in Everett for some years and then rented it out when I started to work back in the Seattle area. Eventually I was able to sell it but the market for places up there was boom or bust. I could never figure the home prices in places like Sultan and Monroe. Crazy high prices to live out in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful to visit but that is about it.
