Yeah, much of the area is benefiting because of the growth in Seattle, Ferry Port towns specifically benefit, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Bainbridge, and Kingston all seem to be doing rather well in growth. I know on Port Orchard's Faceb

I did. I went that route mostly due to the free consultation button. The agent assigned to us was fairly good, but was probably overwhelmed with multiple houses for sale, and communication was somewhat lacking. I went with a different rea

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we could have waited it out and gotten other, higher offers. We actually chose to pick one that had a longer closing period (the house we wanted is occupied with people that want their kids to finish the school y

A bit of an anecdote because the article mentions my town specifically - Tacoma: We put our house on the market Friday, April 8th, a bit below the "redfin estimate" - I saw it had gone live by 11am and we already had an interested

It seems that Basalt Fiber has been around since the 20s, according to Wikipedia; how long has it been used for rebar in construction though?

It's probably that, I grew up in the Midwest in a rural school district (outside the school district of a ~100k population city) - we had a 400 or so graduating class though. This was early to mid 90s, and it was pretty standard throu

A fishing village with over half a million people, and a metro area of nearly 1 million? Around these parts, that'd make it a city.

That almost sounds like you have photographic memory. I do have a good spatial sense, and combined with a fairly decent memory, I can remember where certain things are, but if it's items I've never bought or looked at, I can&#x27

Interesting. This is the first I've heard of this. I think I have a mild case of this condition to be honest. I can imagine away like the rest of people I guess, but when I actually try and visualize something, I don't see it, n

You should look into a bank that has a good App. I use BECU and they have feature on their app where I can deposit the check with a couple snaps of my camera.

Yeah, I think that's probably a great use case for them. I believe one idea I overheard was using them in our local hospital for maps, location of key rooms (surgery and such) and things like that. Thanks for referencing Estimote, tho

Yeah, I apologize, I meant to respond to the GP and accidentally responded to you. I don't want to clutter the thread with duplicate posts though, so I'll just leave it as is.

He probably meant Interstates, and 1956 is 60 years ago, which is why I'm guessing that. Interstate 5 (Seattle portion) was only completed in 1969[0] so depending on where you are, it could be significantly less. [0] - http:/&#x

I think 10 years is just a bit optimistic. I think it'll take about 10 years from the time we have the software/hardware at a point where it is ready. I think that could be 5 years. I think it'll be another 15-20 years aft

I pretty much only had a handful of friends before I moved 2000+ miles away, but honestly, the one and only one that I still talk to was the only one that was really my friend. The rest were more close acquaintances, past roommates, etc. S

I deal with Drupal (7.x) on a daily basis, so that's why you'll probably detect bitterness from me. Personally there are a myriad of reasons why Drupal rubs me the wrong way, most are Developer issues though (Such as their annoyi

PHP isn't that slow[0] by itself. Notice it's 10th on the list (Php5-raw), it outperforms Nodejs, Python, RoR and many others. Drupal, on the other hand, is so slow because it has a terrible architecture. [0] - https:/&#x2F

I was going to suggest daterange, but it didn't work for me (haven't used it in awhile), however, I think this tool replaced it, you can even set custom ranges with that.

Yeah, this works for me by just clicking "Search Instead for Amazone" - it even remembers it next time for me - I also was easily able to strip out Amazon results by adding -Amazon to the query.

That's a good point. I'm terrible at this kind of negotiation though, do you usually come in with a particular price or do they have a set amount if it's cash? I think I'd like to get better at negotiating, I usually e

Though I'm not who you responded to, I'd like to say that I certainly did see warning signs. Sometimes we fought over it, sometimes it made me seem petty (she'd tell me all about her day, but when she asked it seemed more of
