The Seattle Times - Pacific Northworst April Fools Day Issue....
You've got to read The Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine's April Fools Day Issue that was re-titled Pacific Northworst. They had an incredibly funny spoof article called "Why We Deserve to be Insufferable". Wow, is it funny!
They had a section on real estate... I've attached it here (I hope no-one minds)... Be sure to click on the link at the bottom to read the entire article..... Enjoy!!

65 GEMS IN THE QUEEN CITY HOUSING CROWN
Seattle unaffordable? Au contraire, amigo. If you ever scanned the want-ads in an ink-on-your-hands newspaper (spend four bits and hug a tree!), you might have spotted these real-estate jewels:
South King County bungalow! Why watch TV when there's better action out your picture window? Clean up that meth residue and you'll have home, sweet home! Pit bull has already prepared the ground for seeding. All reasonable offers.
Belltown closet! What do you need a home for? Stuff. So stop getting hung up on square footage and invest in the part that counts. Shelving, working lightbulb. A steal at $300,000!
Green Lake view! Why be near Green Lake when you could be on Green Lake? Cedar bench on weathered dock, complete with blue tarp for inclement evenings. May have crew noise at 5 a.m. $250,000 makes you trendy.
Union Bay houseboat! Yachtie charm on this 1978 Bayliner, safely aground in the Arboretum marshes. Lovely green fiberglass patina. Potential, with a pump. Sleepless in Seattle for only $579,000!
Duvall back-to-nature! Who wants to commute two hours only to be creeped out by living alone in the woods? Get cozy! Charming four-level townhome with 200 neighbors, basement in Snoqualmie flood plain. Condo association meetings are a laff riot! Income potential by babysitting next-door infants. $482,000.
