I greatly appreciate your generosity.<\/p>\n<p>The level of contributions is more or less in line with any similarly sized drive, as far as I can tell, but I will admit that 22 people doesn&#8217;t seem like very many when you consider that over 3,000 people read Seattle Bubble each of the last two days.  (This is the obligatory guilt-trip part of the fundraising drive.)<\/p>\n<p>Remember that your contributions help allow me to dedicate more time to bringing continuous improvements to Seattle Bubble.  We&#8217;re talking extra content, spiffy tools, and useful resources.  You are helping to evolve Seattle Bubble into an even more useful and valuable tool for the local housing market.<\/p>\n<p>Just 100 people (less than <em>4 percent<\/em> of the usual weekday readership) contributing $25 would be enough to achieve the entire goal.  Of course, I completely understand that donating to a free website is not likely to be high on most people&#8217;s to-do list, which is why most public TV and radio pledge weeks take forever to reach their goals as well, despite having far, far, more viewers\/listeners than a niche website like this.  That being said, <strong>every donation is appreciated<\/strong>, and brings us that much closer to reaching the goal.  Even $10 lets me know that you appreciate the effort that I am putting in daily to bring you the latest comprehensive look at the local housing market.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, after two days of the fundraising drive, we&#8217;re over 19% toward the $2,500 goal.
