FYI, for those of you that are into this sort of thing, Seattle Bubble now has an official Twitter feed: @SeattleBubble. In addition to piping the latest blog posts to it, we’ll also be using it to post links and general musings on the local real estate scene, basically all the stuff that isn’t meaty enough to merit a full blog post. Enjoy!

Hear Tim on the Radio [Update: Later this Week]
By The Tim on August 18th, 2009 at 12:00 PM · 9 Comments
[Update: I got a message from the producer, who said that for some reason Weissbach's show will not be running live today. We are going to try to reschedule for later this week.]
Tune in to the Weissbach show today [this Thursday] at 5:30 PM on AM 570 to hear me (The Tim) discuss the local real estate market with host Peter Weissbach.
Almost all the local radio hosts I listen to have recently been hawking real estate “investment” opportunities (especially a particular “resort” in Eastern WA) and/or pushing mortgages with “rates are about to go up” scare-talk. I don’t believe I’ve heard Weissbach join in on that nonsense. On the contrary, I have specifically heard him denounce the misplaced notion that buying a home is somehow the path to riches.
Weissbach’s program is always entertaining and unfortunately only lasts an hour, so I am grateful that he has invited me on. I’m looking forward to joining Peter today, and hope you all tune in. [Thursday] AM 570, 5:30 PM. If you’re at a computer, you can listen online here.

Announcement: Site Migration This Weekend
By The Tim on July 11th, 2009 at 11:36 AM · No Comments
FYI, I will be migrating the website to a new host this weekend. During the migration I will likely disable comments to avoid anything being posted and lost during the transition.
Hopefully things should be fully operational again by the end of Saturday with minimal disruption, but be aware that it may take some time for your internet provider’s DNS servers to update to the new site host.
Update: If you’re reading this update, then you are viewing the site on its new host. Everything should be up and running. Let me know if you experience any difficulties. Thanks!

Happy Independence Day
By The Tim on July 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 AM · 16 Comments
I’m taking the day off to hang out with friends and family, and enjoy a little kayaking.
Exciting Independence Weekend Contest!
Whoever guesses the closest lat-long coordinates to the location where the above picture was taken wins a Made in Washington gift bag with some MarketSpice tea, a Fran’s chocolate bar, some Cabernet chocolate cherries, Biringer’s lemon tea cookies, and an Almond Roca.
One entry per person, leave your guess in the comments along with a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. Contest closes at midnight Monday morning / Sunday night.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Update: Congratulations to Joe @ comment #4, whose guess was just 16 feet from the correct location! Incredible. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he somehow cheated. Here’s a map of all your guesses, with the correct answer marked in green:
