There is a brand new house just up for sale across the road from us..
We left CA 3 years ago and it was the BEST decision we ever made. When I can drive 8 miles across town on hit only one stop sign and see maybe 10 cars total... that's what I'm talking about!! Plus public transit to Seattle is only 6 miles down the road (and you get to take your car with you!)
Please buy the house.. we need more MBZ owners around here!!
