Bust a Move
I think I might have found another place to live. I don’t think I can spend another winter in this house. So it turns out there’s a high-quality house share just up the hill from the Ballard locks, and that makes me happy. Not far from downtown Ballard, not far from Rain City Video, and not far from…
…the Haus of Shui.
Now if I can just overcome my inertia.
(Or, alternately… If someone wants to hand me seven-hundred-thousand dollars, I’d love to buy the Sunset Hill Craftsman with a view, recently updated with converted basement. Any billionaires reading? It’s a good cause. Really.)

you just keep slip-sliding around Seattle…
man, just set your sights a little lower and find a reasonably-priced house to buy. it beats the HELL out of paying rent.
You don’t understand. The two-bedroom house I was house-sitting sold for $400,000. And that’s way out in the nowhere. The Shui Haus, an unassuming two-storey three-bedroom in a blue-collar part of Ballard would probably be assessed at $350k or so.
Even if I could afford it, I’d like to wait a year or so, for the housing bubble to fully burst.
zounds!!
come to NM, land is cheap down here
