As remote work brings newcomers, Sultan gets a boost and growing pains

SULTAN — Jared and Sarah Ramey spent a year searching for a home to buy before landing in Sultan.

The couple, both 26, were renting an Everett apartment. They wanted to leave the city, but not go too far.

“Sultan wasn’t on our list to begin with,” said Jared Ramey, who works as a software engineer in Bellevue. “As we started getting beat out of any house we were interested in, we expanded our search.”

Last December, a home within their budget of $500,000 came on the market in the city of about 5,400, off U.S. 2 in rural Snohomish County.
