Dude, that is the most in depth explanation I have gotten from anyone here, including the multitude of realtors I have been dealing with. I just relocated here from Chicago. No, not downtown, I lived way north, close to the Wisconsin border. It was where my work was located, but I also liked it, it was very hickish, two lane roads, cornfields everywhere, very open and uncrowded. So that is why I like the Bainbridge/Poulsbo area, more wide open, larger lots, but my Lord is it overpriced! I just can't see how people can afford a house on Bainbridge unless they make 150K. Poulsbo is a lot more reasonable at least. So I figured a place near Agate pass would be "almost" the same as being on the island itself. Personally I don't like riding my motorcycle in crowded Seattle, too dangerous. I much prefer the open road to kill myself on! I was thinking about what you just suggested for a while, perhaps just rent a place out there and see what the commute is like. I rent now, so what is the difference?
Thanks again, I owe you a beer or five.
