October is usually a slower season for Northwest real estate, and 2019 is no exception. According to the most recent Northwest Multiple Listing Service, the active listings of homes (both single-family houses and condos) during the month of October totaled 14,379 - the lowest level since April. While it's not unusual for the summer rush of "peak real estate" season to slow down a bit in the… → Read More
Inventory is a problem for the Washington real estate scene. According to this month's Northwest Multiple Listing Service report, the total active listings is down more than 10%, with 14 counties having double-digit drops. Only seven counties have more than three months of supply, with four-to-six months generally considered a sign of a "balanced" market. Just four of the 23 counties covered by… → Read More
The viaduct is no more. Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct was many things - beloved, hated, seismically unsound, embattled, short, a helluva view. And after 65 years, the final bits of it have been torn down. In its wake it leaves a brand new tunnel, a brand new waterfront, and plenty of memories of driving on it and praying an earthquake doesn't strike. Still, Seattle wouldn't be who it is without… → Read More
Another month, another tale of inventory woes plaguing the Washington real estate market. According to the latest report from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, experts are finding many potential home-buyers are expanding their search beyond the major job centers in King County as a result of the crunch on supply in the month of August. System-wide the 23 counties serviced by the MLS have… → Read More
In 2019, Seattle got itself back in the theater - twice. Perhaps not since "Grey's Anatomy" has Seattle gotten this much attention in the culture, with both "Where'd you go Bernadette?" and "The Art of Racing in the Rain" featuring stories set in our humble city. → Read More
This hasn't been the most picturesque end to Seattle summer, but with Labor Day just around the corner and the first day of school right behind it, the season is definitely coming to a close. Which means there's just enough time for you to squeeze in a few last minute stops in between school supplies shopping. → Read More
Look, we get it: The "days" have gotten out of control. It seems like every other day we're inundated with an arbitrary (and frankly, transparently manufactured) "holiday" in honor of some of the most banal things in our life: National Middle Child Day (Aug. 12); Bean Day (Jan. 6); Turkey Neck Soup Day (March 30). Take International Beer Day. Sure, it's another nonsense day that if you never… → Read More
Summer in Seattle typically leaves you with a bit more of a spring in your step. Sure, the latter parts of our summers have become clogged by wildfire smoke and unbearable heat (sometimes both at once). But the first part - well, that's classic Seattle: When the sun is out, and the thermometer hits a certain temperature (not too hot, but more than enough for us to pull out the shorts) everyone… → Read More
There was a time when Forks, Washington was just one of the many scenic small towns that populated Washington's peninsula. That ended fairly firmly in the mid-aughts, when Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" book series, and later movie franchise, became a phenomenon. "Twilight" tourism became popular, and almost 11 years later that's not slowing down - though you may have to venture a little further… → Read More
