Well things in Washington are definately out of whack. Housing here is fast approaching the same as California. A basic used 30-40 year old 1500 S.F. house will set you back about 300K. And if you want that house in the Seattle area plan on about spending another 100K. Of course if you want a new 2600 S.F. house make sure you bring 600-750K. My home has tripled in value since I have owned it. I think it went up 43% last year alone. CRAZY. Anyway it is real pretty here. Born and raised in Washington I have adjusted to the rain. It's not the rain that is a problem, its the grey skies that seem to go on and on. HOWEVER! Once spring is here. Hold onto your shorts. This place is absolutely Beautiful.
