What do you want from Seattle Bubble?

Posted on February 9, 2008February 12, 2008 by The Tim

Since making the big announcement on Wednesday, I’ve received a lot of feedback about Seattle Bubble and some of the improvements people would like to see now that I’m dedicating more time to it.

More “Superstar” Nonsense from Lawrence Yun

Posted on February 8, 2008February 14, 2011 by The Tim

January Reporting Roundup

Posted on February 7, 2008April 7, 2008 by The Tim

It’s time for another reporting roundup. Let’s see what the local newspapers have to say about January’s not-so-positive numbers from the NWMLS.
