Ten years ago we bought a 4,000 square foot newer home, with 3 baths, five bedrooms and a huge yard for $145,000. It's nearly doubled in value, even with the housing crash. Granted, the median hourly wage here is slightly above minimum, but I feel loads better about it when I see what you all pay for real estate down there.
Pru- Bobbi was impressed that Seattle hadn't succumbed to the usual post-snow chaos when she was there. Of course, it was the weekend. She also said the trip over the Pass was grueling- took over three hours. When she got home she discovered that nearly all the deciduous trees and shrubs in her yard were obliterated by the heavy snow. It tried to take down our lilacs, but I went out and shook all the snow off the branches before they snapped.
Brigitte- how much did you all get?
Alex- the thought of you living here made me crack up. There is no culture in Spokane, silly!
And finally, in August it averages 100 degrees up here as well, so I may be looking back at these pictures with a bit of longing. I doubt it, but it could happen.
