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).
