I'd add Greenwood to that list. Not nearly the scene as Ballard/Fremont/Wallingford, but it's not dead either (has a climbing gym if that matters).
Light rail stations for commuting downtown are nearby - and quick hop onto 99 (then 90) for access to mountains.
But main plus - for now - is probably *slightly* lower housing costs than the other areas.

FYI, that better be a lucrative gig to live in any of those hoods.
Interesting history on Pilchuck. They wanted to expand. https://www.heraldnet.com/life/snows-of-pilchucks-past/

I did roughly this ten years ago - worth it! I'm in the Phinney/Greenwood area and it strikes a nice balance of having stuff you can walk to, but no scene, while also being a short drive from 99 and I-5. Note that if you are on the west side of Green Lake it sort of gets in the way when you are trying to get to 5. While some areas are a little better located for skiing (depending on your destination of choice) there are a lot of skiers here which makes it easier to find people to go with. Driving east/west can be slow, so I don't really recommend Ballard for highway access.

Doubt that will ever happen as there isn't a population around to support, but that would make Metaline Falls one of the sickest little ski towns in the US. 40 minutes to Kootney Pass for backcountry (highest paved pass in Canada), 1 hour to Whitewater, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Red.

All the good stuff in WA up there is in wilderness. The wilderness goes right to the Canadian and Idaho border. So long slogs in. If people ski it they are doing a good job of being quiet about it. Or you can cross into Canada and drive on a paved highway to 5,800 ft at Kooteney Pass.
