I haven't every done the drive from Everett to Seattle at rush hour, but since the old part of Everett is almost 30 miles away, and Redmond is more like 15, and the traffic is at least comparable if not worse on the Everett commute, I would certainly guess the drive time would be longer. I'm really not even thinking about driving all the way. Most likely I would either drive to a South Everett Park-&-Ride, or else take a mixture of busses, or possibly investigate vanpool options.
That particular house is already 'subject-to-inspection' -- meaning that it's got an offer on it and is probably already in escrow, but it does give an idea of what sort of thing one can find in North Everett. The whole neighborhood is full of similar, older houses.
I'm not sure there really is a significant bubble in Seattle. My boss's husband is a realtor, and he doesn't seem to think there's any sign of a slow down. Maybe all that condo stock will help, but right now Seattle is a significant seller's market, so it's going to take a large influx of housing to get in parity with demand, unless the local job market just tanks.
