New Seattle == Silicon Valley/2
We're not as bad, but we had a bit of a rush - I pity any city that gets labeled with "Most liveable city."

The situation I'm seeing here is that there aren't the buyers to justify the prices - but people bought for so damn much they're refusing to sell for any less. This is a bit of a problem, and eventually something's going to give, and it's going to give HARD.

Seattle's done for now, stick a fork in it. Brandi?
End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.

New We're looking to sell soon.
We'll see how much we can get. If nothing else, a developer will probably want it 'cause they'll be able to but two or three houses on our lot (big yard).

After that, I'm going to live in a cheap one room apartment and stash my cash for the coming drop.

We still have a LOT of Microsoft money around here.

Remember, you'll PROBABLY sell your first house within 5 - 7 years. That's why they offer those balloon payment thingies.

Seatac might be an option. If you can take the noise from the planes and you don't mind a less than perfect neighborhood.

Also, look for van pools and the like if you can't get a close enough bus route. Particularly if you work in Seattle.

My bus commute is 20 - 30 minutes. But the bus stops running at 6pm.

Seattle is just not setup correctly. I might end up in Portland, anyway (job transfer).

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar - a real dive. But I knew the owner; he used to play for the Dolphins. I said, "HI GILL!" (You have to yell; he's hard of herring...)
