This house just up the road from where I live. Had for sale up in july for roughly 2 days. Then the sign disappeared. I just zillowed and it sold on 7/3 for $411,000. The for sale sign cropped up yesterday and fliers state a new price of $569,…

It won't have any impact. The number people going to Seattle is going to be equal or less than the number that are being moved to Canada. The new location in Vancouver BC will house a few hundred people that would have to come to Redmond had they no…

One of the things that I miss the most is the little jump backwards that the old system did. It corrected overshooting while fast forwarding. The new software is definitely a DOWNGRADE.

I am a little disappointed that the typical cheerleaders at RCG are not participating in the discussions on CW etc... Must be super busy closing deals on the eastside.

Not to worry! Microsoft is now shipping around 400 people a year (starting in September) to Vancouver BC to get around visa limitations. Mind you these are mostly new grads. They will work there untill the visas are approved. This will definitely sl…

I am not sure what I was listening to this morning, but I heard worries about WAMU as well. This was definitely a move to save them both.

I can only speak to people who are offered a relocation package. This is considered additional taxable income above and beyond their salary. It is this amount that they have to repay if they leave before one year is up. Washington is an at will stat…

It just means that if they are relocated and leave within their first year of employment they have to pay everything back. That is the full cost of relocation...

Too bad that breeze can't blow a little harder and get rid of some of the riff raff out of Ballard. This neighborhood has just about lost everything that made it cool 5 years ago.

I live right around the block from this place. The conversion from crappy old apartments to what it is now took about 2 months work. There has to be a better way to drop $900k! As a main drag you get all the luxury of police cars and fire engines sc…

Whats wrong with a bit of comic relief mixed with a dose of reality?

I know they have fear of publicly available information over at RCG. Toss a few names into this handy tool and see what you come up with. :twisted: http://dw.courts.wa.gov/index.cfm?fa=ho ... rms=accept It was really the style of writing that…

Speaking of RCG, does the new contributor over there seem like it could be phony (the one from Chicago). To me, huge skeptic and all. It feels like her whole story is way to romanticized and rosey to be real. Kind of like the thing on youtube a f…

I have one of the wort commutes around. Ballard to Redmond.

I have been pondering the same sort of site. What has the barrier of entry been for an MLS competitor?

Reminds me of my twice daily drive down Market Street in Ballard. Recently 4 or 5 for for sale signs of have cropped up heading east. I think they are all on the N. side of the street. in addition to that in the last week two houses across (next…
