Look out over the neighborhood and into the distance from this corner-culdesac in the Kentridge/Glencarin area of Kent.

According to an Associated Press article quoted in my local Seattle Times, new home sales so far this year across the nation accounted for just 5% of all sales. [...]

January 20, 2011 by Gabrielle · Leave a Comment
I absolutely love getting a phone call from a Buyer looking to relocate to the Seattle-Tacoma area. One of the early questions when talking to someone moving to the area involves where they will work and how long they’re willing to commute.

I typically avoid these sorts of things as [...]
