By almost everyone’s account, office days are out, and remote work is in. As a result of the pandemic, people are getting a real taste of working from home and, for the most part, finding it very enjoyable. Some go even further, liberating themselves from the office and home to a digitally nomadic lifestyle.
In an effort to support digital nomads worldwide, home-sharing company Airbnb has released the results of its survey of the best destinations for long-term guests in the United States and Canada based on price, hospitality, and popularity. While the entire report is fascinating for hosts, what matters most to digital nomads is the list of the most affordable destinations.
According to the report, Airbnb’s team studied the average nightly price for destinations that booked 1,000 nights or more of long-term stays in the first quarter of 2022 to determine which offered the best deals. The top five destinations all have rates under $50 per night.
Tulalip, Washington, about 45 minutes north of Seattle, is the top affordable long-term stay in the United States.
Visitors can also learn more about the Snohomi, Snoqualmie, Skomi, and other indigenous peoples who call the area home.
Tulalip (pronounced Tuh’-lay-lup) is a 22,000-acre site known as the Tulalip Indian Reservation, located north of the Everett and Snohomish Rivers and west of Marysville, Washington. Tulalip is made up of the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other heirs of the United tribes and tribes that signed the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, “explains the North Seattle National Visitor page. It further notes that the reservation is “rich in natural resources,” including beautiful seawater, tides, freshwater creeks, and lakes. There is also a lot of fun at the Tulalip Resort Casino, Seattle Premium Outlets, Tulalip Amphitheater, and Hibal Cultural Center, all located in the Tulalip area.
Visitors can also visit Jetty Island and the surrounding community. This two-mile-long artificial island can be reached by ferry. The island was initially intended as a breakwater, but it has since become a much-loved local beach. There’s also the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens, which offers more space for outdoor exploration and is just a 15-minute drive from Tulalip. There is also the Hibl Cultural Center and Natural History Reserve, whose mission is to “revive, restore, preserve, interpret, collect and enhance the history, traditional cultural values and spiritual beliefs of the Tulalip tribe.” The center offers community activities such as knitting workshops, children’s story time, dental earring-making classes, and more.
Tulalip is a special place worth an extended stay, and of course, you should leave the place better than you found it. Want to explore? These three Airbnb homestays are worth an extended stay for digital nomads.
