\"415<\/a>I’ll give $15 worth of specialty tea or coffee from MarketSpice Tea<\/a> (your choice of flavor) to the first person who can guess what is interesting about this listing on Capitol Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You don’t get any clues, just the link to the listing<\/a>. I’m looking for a specific fact that is interesting in the context of Seattle Bubble.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/strong> Leave your guesses in the comments. One guess per person. Contest ends in one week, at midnight the morning of Wednesday, March 16th. Be sure to enter your real email address in the form if you want to be able to claim your prize. I’ll update this post with the answer once someone gets it, or after the contest ends if nobody can figure it out. Oh, and my coworkers at Redfin are ineligible since we already discussed this last week.<\/p>\n

\nUpdate:<\/strong> We have a winner!<\/p>\n

“Lurker” in comment #34<\/a> correctly pointed out that the owner of this home is one Les Fitzpatrick<\/a>, the producer of the “Reset at Olive 8<\/a>” video posted here back in January: Olive 8’s Unconvincing "Reset" Marketing Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n

The big clue is in the final photo of the listing<\/a>, which contains a computer that is displaying a frame from that video, as seen in the crop at left. If you looked up the home on King County’s Parcel Viewer<\/a>, you would have been able to notice that the owner’s name matches the name that shows on the overlay before you play the Olive 8 video in that January post.<\/p>\n

Thanks for playing, everybody, and congratulations to Lurker!<\/p>\n
