Yes, West Seattle. He has an amazing view of the city and you can watch all the ships come in from this large stone deck.

I have a view of downtown but you have lean a little to see it. <g>

He is right at the end of the street, so no one can ever build in front of him. He has mumbled something about extorting money from dozens of neighbors behind him by threatening to put a second story on. He would bum out at least 25 homeowners if he did that and wack all their property values.

If I went up a second story, I could clear the roof line of the house under construction. Its why I bought this house. Because of the spectacular view, the neighborhood is almost forced to upgrade......and it is. In an earlier life, it was more middle class but slowly but surely its becoming upper middle class as people go up a story to capture the view. My house is one of the smallest on the street...which I prefer. They take pity and send over a lot of good XMAS cookies. <g>

He just got one of those once-in-lifetime deals. He married a girl from LA and there was no debate about where they would live. She got a transfer from within her company to move to Seattle.

Is he from Detroit? I was offered a job in Seattle shortly out of school as well as in LA. Unfortunately, I took the LA job. I wish I hadn't now. I paid a big price for that selection.
