Saw this listing pop up in Ballard, seems like a good value for the area? What do you guys think?

Sellers are looking at a crazy loss here. Nothing stands out as egregious other than maybe the location? 500k for this seems like a good deal.

One of my favorite listings I've seen in a while. You can just tell the owner loved it, there's a cat chilling on the table, and the pictures look like they were taken in 2005.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some advice with my search for a first home in Seattle. I’ve been looking at mostly new or newer townhomes and detached townhomes (DADU). My main concern with these is that I’ve heard mixed reviews regarding resale. My budget is about 650k and there are some nice options but I’m getting concerned about what resale could look like in the future (5-10 years).

I’m wondering if it would be better to just suck it up and buy an older SFH that I don’t like as much, but protect myself against negative equity.

For context I’m looking at home around 1100-1200 sqft with 2 beds and 2 baths minimum.

Any advice appreciated, TYIA!

Hi fellow neighbors and Seattleites.

As a frequent visitor of the Cascade park and garden, it’s hard not to notice the amount of illegal camping, dumping, and crime taking place on Parks and Recreation property. It feels like this is one of the few parks in the dense Seattle core that still deals with so many issues related to homelessness.

Myself and other community members have tried to use the Find it, Fix it app. We also have reached out to council member Kettle and the parks department directly. But this issue is never solved.

There are elderly and vulnerable people that frequent the park or participate in the P-Patch that essentially have to fend for themselves because of inaction at the city level. The garden and park have to deal with human feces, vandalism, theft, and more without any long term solutions.

I wanted to reach out on here as a community member looking for help. Does anyone have suggestions for what myself and others can do to make this park desirable and safe again?

Thank you.
