No surprise here. Junkie,rundown, "craftsmen" (read: Sears Catalog) bungalows are going for $450K+ in crappy neighborhoods. Don't get me started on the bad food (salmon notwithstanding) and the lack of basic lawncare skills on the part of Seattle residents.

Same thing over on this side of the state..it's like the blind school is building econo-box houses over here and blackmailing the buyers...They simply state now, well if you don't like it we'll just sell it to someone else, they don't have a problem with moving in to it...there is such a shortage of housing here that the builders can get away with extortion, and poor building practices ie. drilling through "paralam" beams that have "do not drill, use provided knock-outs" printed right on the side of them...
