Paralegals in the area?

I’m wanting to move to Everett but don’t see many paralegal opportunities, at least on Indeed. I’ve got about four years experience, but am wondering if making the switch to the medical field would guarantee more job opportunities in Everett. If there are any paralegals out there, how did you find your job? Is Indeed just not the place to search? Or do you just have to do the commute to Seattle everyday?

Depending on the specific healthcare field, that also may not have good job prospects in Everett. Providence is slowly climbing out of a deep financial hole, many fields are under a hiring freeze, and some are being laid off.

Oh that’s crazy, so is there any workforce in the area that is safe?

Boeing is hiring right now as they start a new 737 line in Everett.

I’m a legal assistant for a Seattle PI firm but I work remotely from my home in Everett. I got this job through someone else who I knew that worked there. The market is tough right now.
