Been out with a buyer all day so not much time to update before another meeting this evening but did think that I would point out this little bit of research I found:

Top 10 Waterfront Markets

Interesting to see Bellevue in this list…though way behind some of the top cities. I guess Bill Gates and his neighbors have really increased the value of that area. I also found this somewhat interesting that every city was west except Boston…how did that one get thrown in there?!?!

Anyways, just thought I would pass that along. Keep enjoying this great weather, who would have thought September would be this amazing.

If this is the first time you have read my blog this post may not make as much sense to you…but to my regular readers I must apologize. Two weeks ago I mentioned that I had family coming into town and rather than neglect my blog I would write about our experiences as a tourist. Well, two weeks later and I’m just now catching up and taking the time to sit down and blog. So, needless to say I am not going to take the time to go into detail about all of our experiences.

I really thought that I would be able to take the time to sit down and go through my experiences. While I had time occasionally to relax by myself…I frankly did not want to spend it blogging. I did make several observations in the past two weeks that are worth sharing with you…my faithful readers. I apologize again for first time readers as this is probably not going to be my favorite post…so go ahead, skip around my blog and read some of my past informational posts. …more

I’ve been a little nervous thinking about how I’m going to handle the next couple of weeks. See, we have family coming in town from Guam originally from Thailand who have never been to the continental United States. The next two weeks will be chaotic with 8 people and a dog living in our 1000 sq. ft. condo. Lots of travelling, lots of food, and lots of sites to see.

At the same time, I am trying to build my business during the hot summertime Real Estate market. I have a client who we are trying to work a very creative financing deal that must be signed around in the next few days to make it work. While some of the family is out prepping at the Asian market and grabbing lunch I decided to stay home to work and get ahead. Well, now I have a couple of minutes and decided that instead of ignoring my blog readers for two weeks I would have some fun keeping you informed of what I like to do as a tourist when family comes into town. …more

I’ve posted this link before several months ago on my old blog that is now history…and since it is so fun to play with I decided to go ahead and repost it today for you to see. You can go see exactly what the odds are that it will rain on a specific day. If you are planning an outside event this coming summer…make sure you take a look at this “odds it will rain” chart.

Now, I’m not one to overly get into statistics and psycho analyze everything that I read…but I do find it fairly interesting that some days truly seem to really stick out statistically. One of the biggest observations I see when I look over this chart is that November 19th is statistically the greatest chance of rain…yet the day before and the day after both have a much smaller chance. …more

Yesterday, the governor signed into place a bill allowing tolls on 520 starting as early as next year. Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed in this. I understand both sides of the arguments but also believe that with our region being one of the highest taxed and with costs of living being so high…shouldn’t we be able to find the money to rebuild the bridge somewhere else. I think what disgruntles me the most is the fact that tolls could end up at $6 or $7. …more
