Ben, I kind of like the working class ambience. Why have a fancy home if you can't lord it over everyone around you? Of course, I'm from the San Francisco area originally and what passes for a million dollar home there is called a cozy fixer-upper at low six figures in Houston. But I know that Seattle is kind of pricey, too.

Building homes "on spec" has never been the best investment in the building trades. <g>

Street of Dreams, Seattle style - Very smart to hold it in Auburn, which is right next to Renton, which is where Boeing pulled the plug a few months ago. It was a crappy area to live when times were good, now the rednecks and trailer trash can have it all to themselves. Things may be getting ugly up north in Everett too, (another garden spot LOL) where what was left of Boeing consolidated, as rumors of operations heading to Japan start to unfold.
