We personally live in Lake Stevens and have for 20+ years and truely enjoy the quality of life here and that's what attracts others to our community. That said, it all depends on your price point. Above say, $300K, you will be competing with much of the new construction in the area and there is quite a bit of inventory (homes) resale and new that will be your competition. If you are under $300K, you will get showings but the key here is appearance (inside and out). You need to be the home that stands out amongst your competition. My person feeling is that we have hit the bottom on pricing in our area. Price and condition are the keys to selling right now. As far as moving to California, depending on where, if you haven't been there before, you might want to sell here and try to do a short term lease down there (ie: 6 mos) before buying to get aclimated to the area. There are others things that you need to keep in mind in selling but I hope what I've said helps.
Cheers and much success on whatever you decide.
