When I said Kitsap's prices peaked at 232%, I didn't mean they'd <em>increased</em> 232%, but that <em>at their peak</em> they were 232% of their 2000 level. An important distinction.

One suggestion: A <b>100% increase</b> means the price has doubled. I understand that you're using 2000 as the baseline at 100%, but it could be misleading to state there has been a 200% increase since 2000 (which would mean the price has tripled). For an amusing explanation of using "100 percent" versus "2 times" versus "twice as much", visit <a>http://www.theslot.com/times.html </a> OK, so it's a topic that is only amusing if you're a copy editor or in accounting, and I happen to be both. So sue me.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('43987','blueskitten',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('43987','blueskitten','Thanks so much for throwing this bone to us south-sounders!\r\n\r\nOne suggestion: A <b>100% increase<\/b> means the price has doubled.
