townhouse choices

[XMcShiftersonX]

Well the house was really too big for me - it was a single family house, not a townhouse. So the search continues.

Unfortunately my office isn't in downtown Seattle, it's in "South Seattle" - in an industial area, north of Boeing Field - so lovely ferry rides to work aren't in my future. Or taking the light rail.

The daily hunt on Craig's List continues...

There are at least two townhouses for sale in my neighborhood if you're interested, it sounds pretty close to the area of the place you just looked at. I think some people may also be selling their condos. I PM'd you the name of the development earlier, I'm sure you could find info. online if you were interested.

I feel like I should chime in on the opportunities for water enjoyment since others have been doing the same about W. Seattle In Renton you have Coulon Park, which is on Lake Washington, and then maybe 15 minutes south, Lake Meridian in Kent. There's also the Cedar River in downtown Renton, with an 11 mile paved trail that runs right next to it that is fun to ride on in itself or to use as a connector to go many places including up to Tiger Mountain, or to go on some longer loops like a 45 and 55 miler through country roads with farms, etc.

Commuting to S. Seattle via bike wouldn't be too bad either. In fact, that's part of the S. Lake Wa loop that many people really enjoy. By car you could also take back streets that are not very congested and prettier than I-5 too because they go along Lake Washington (I used to do it all the time when I was going to Seattle U)! Good luck in your search!
