NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Bad idea. With construction catching up to demand, price increases have slowed down but aren't going to go down anytime soon. You're right; prices will still continue to go up as we are basically bay area north now in terms of tech and housing prices. Places that were traditionally not that great areas are getting a lot more expensive (Oakland, Renton, etc).

The only way you could do well is if you leave WA. I had 2 coworkers sell their west seattle houses and move to the Raleigh area in NC and basically have a paid off house there with the equity they made here.

Lol, last 2 houses we were looking at in Issaquah and Redmond were much smaller than the one we're in right now and ended up selling 80-120k over listing price.

 

Wow, that's nuts! For my gears and lockers front and rear was only like $2400 iirc

 

I remembers yours being like $100 less than mine and mine was around $3300-$3500 all said and done.

 

Ahh maybe is was 3400$ not what I said above but still 6k is unreal.

 

Small lot, 3 bedroom, redneck neighbors (not the good kind of rednecks), 2 blocks to Microsoft. $740k
Garage wired for 240v, MIG welder and plasma cutter convey.

Thinking of getting out of here by the end of summer....

 

Same boat. Vermont is really nice. So is Ireland.

 

Yeah that does seem high for sure.

 

VT is very nice

 

Anyone been to tahuya or walker lately? I was thinking Sunday would be a good wheeling day, weather looks ok.

 

So is eastern Washington

 

@Tayoflor just hit Tahuya. As for walker I was thinking about going this weekend but there isn’t much tacoma friendly stuff there

 

True.

 

I haven't been up there yet but I was thinking of taking my jeep (picked up an 04 lj for trails) anyhow but was planning on takin er easy I'm just breaking it in. If you're interested in going let me know.

 

Yup! Was just out there Monday and it was fantastic. Not sure how the recent rain since then will effect it though.

 

Hmmmm Tahuya sounds nice

 

I've came to the conclusion I can never afford a house here. I will be leaving at some point. Going to work in my current job for another 2-3 years probably, because I'm a realist, then dip out somewhere.

 

It is indeed

 

MULE quoted me exactly 4,531.66.
1,235 for set of 4.88 gears, rear locker, compressor, ext.
labor was $1100
Yeah.... not there yet!

 

Whaaat?! I did a lot in my taco when I was sitting lower and on 33’s.

 

I still did quite a lot too. Didn't make around the whole loop due to time constraints so I guess I couldn't say about the end. One rock garden hill climb I opted to pass until I get some skids but it was still a lot of fun
