On a more specific note, as a IT guy that also grows and enjoys living in a more rural location I think the best living/work arrangements I have found in the area had me living in "Bonney Lake" (I would also consider Lake Tapps, Enumclaw, and Buckley to be in this area) and working in Seattle. There is a commuter train that runs through the Auburn Valley which is in close proximity to these areas and as Seattle traffic is horrible the train is a great option.
