A Strong 2012 Finish for the Seattle Housing Market

For the 11th consecutive month the median sale price for single-family homes sold in Northwest Seattle, including Wallingford, met or exceeded the sale price for the same period a year prior. Much of this trend can be attributed to a nearly 50% decrease in the supply of homes compared to the previous year. The median sale price for single-family homes in NW Seattle was $420,000 for November compared to $379,000 for November of 2011. The average sale price for NW Seattle…

Two spent 10-gauge…

Goodbye, Subway

Lulu writes: Sad to hear that the Subway on 45th is closing on Tuesday. According to one of the employees, it is the slowest Subway in WA State. My kids loved it but we still have Taco Time! We got the news too late last night to call for confirmation, will call and confirm today. Michelle tells us that the Subway down on the corner of 34th and Stone Way has papered its windows up, as well. (Photo compliments of Google…

Anyone lose a Pitbull Puppy?

Update, 8:12pm: Good news! "Dude" has been reunited with his "Dad"! Meredith posted on our Facebook page last night that she found a young Pitbull in between her fence and her garage. She's taken him to a Vet up in Lake City. The vet says the Pitbull is likely 9-10 mos. old and may be a stray, though his nails are clipped short, which likely means he has a human out there somewhere. The vet will hold him one more say…

Here's a note from the organizers (with a shout-out to folks who'd like to perform during…
