ParticipantI agree with xboxboy. Hire a soils engineer. Our house is a 1960’s house… our lot slopes… but the did a cut/fill of the cobble/clay when they original developed the area in the early 60’s. They did a good job. It’s all native dirt – just cut from the high spots, and used for fill in the lower spots. They did good compaction.
When we built our casita we had to do proper compaction with a geotechnical company supervising. We were happy to have another set of eyes making sure the work was being done correctly.
ParticipantDifferent engines depending on what I’m looking at.
For SFR, I like sdlookup.For multi-family, redfin.
Redfin gives more data (sales history, etc)… but sdlookup lets you comment on specific properties, or read others comments.I find myself going back and forth between the two.
Participant[quote=sdduuuude]They were going to make an official day on 6/22 in celebration of Avogadro’s number, but more people prefer eating Pie to Avogadros.[/quote]
Where’s the “like” button?I’ve heard that moles like eating avogadros…
ParticipantLol, AN

Participant[quote=briansd1]But there are plenty of people from Russia and Eastern Europe (who look slimmer and dress a better than White native born Americans). [/quote]
Head up to the far-northeast section of Philadelphia next time you’re there. Tell me then, that Russians are all slim and stylish… Check out along Bustleton Ave and Red Lion Rd… I have coworkers from that area… they weren’t slim or stylish. Maybe that’s an engineer thing, though.
As for the rest of this thread… I am afraid to comment. Anything I say will be construed as racist. Even this statement will be construed as racist. Even reading it I’ll be called racist.
ParticipantMy best whale watching experience was on a small passenger ferry that used to operate between Bellingham and Orcas Island.
2nd best was on a state ferry from Anacortes to Orcas.
Extrapolating, riding the ferry to an island named for Orcas, improves your odds of seeing orcas.
ParticipantMy husband really wanted to be someplace EATING pie at 3pm yesterday (15:00).
Didn’t work out that way…And yeah – that should be 9:36AM… No confusion with military time then.
Participant[quote=briansd1]I would rather have a French apple tart.

Feel free to serve that up on French Apple Tart day. 🙂(actually that recipe looks good. And about the same amount of labor.)
ParticipantEchoing the suggestions for the underground tour.
Take a ferry over to Bainbridge Island and back. The ferry ride itself is fun. If you time it – you can walk from the Bainbridge ferry station into the “town” for lunch- there are some decent cafe’s there. (But it’s a small town. 🙂 )
Explore Pikes Place Market and Pioneer Square. I love both places. Watch them throw fish. Look for souvenirs at the little shops in the Market, rub the pig’s head. (Note – there are several levels of the market… tourists sometimes miss the lower levels.)
Check out the Seattle Art Museum. Laugh at or enjoy (depending on your perspective) the hammering man ouside the museum. It’s on 1st – halfway between Pikes Place and Pioneer Square. I love the architecture of this place.
Take the monorail from Westlake Center to the Space Needle. Go up in the Space Needle.
I love Seattle. I lived in Bellingham for 3 years and had friends in Seattle so I spent a lot of weekends there.
Skip the car – if you stay downtown you can walk to everything I suggested.
ParticipantIt looks like it originally sold in 2007 for $780k. then was foreclosed on in Jan 2011. From the notes I posted on sdlookup:
from fidelityasap.com
Sale Status: Sold 01/03/2011
TS Number: 439140CA
ASAP Number: 3841782
Notice of Sale Amt: $686,221.23
Opening Bid Amt: $475,750.00
Sold Amt: $510,000.00So it was bought by a 3rd party. And since it was a trustee sale – that third party didn’t have an inspection clause or anything like that. They got hosed.
ParticipantIt’s in our long term plans for our casita. When the in-laws no longer need it we’ll start renting it out. It’s literally in our yard. (Big lot, though, so privacy for all parties.)
The things mentioned here all make sense to me- get to pick the neighbor. We’ll price it so they want to stay – so will behave well.
ParticipantSo no posting responses to the data thread? Or am I missing something?
LOl on the answer to 4).
Participantsdr –
Can you explain the rules to us. I see 3 threads and I’m not sure why the second 2 were started.Are we allowed to comment on the data (which seems to have happened).
Are we only allowed to agree with your conclusions?
Obviously, you decide when someone has broken the rules – but it’s hard to know what the rules are.
