[QUOTE=WRS2K,Jan 10 2006, 02:51 PM] It's not going to get much better, but you will get a bit more house on what we call the Eastside.

I'd also say look into Lynnwood/Mukilteo, but again, I don't know of any place with cheaper housing that is still new/nice. Prices here are pretty high, even coming from Chicago.

Oh yeah, and this constant rain/cloudy weather is somewhat depressing... haha ughhh

seem to be too much higher than where I live, maybe 25-30%.

Here in Upstate
I can get a very nice 2000-2200 sqft house with 2 car garages and yard in a good
neighborhood in the 250K range. Just as a frame of reference.

You can almost get that where I live, in SE King County. Further out, you can get that. As to how we afford them, well I bought mine eight years ago, for about half of what its current market value is. [elaboration: It's a pyramid scheme! Just don't be the guy caught at the end, and you'll be fine....]

23 days straight of rain, and counting.
