Seattle vs. Spokane... ??

We had such a wonderful trip. We left monday morningish for Seattle, and it was actually a quicker drive than we had anticipated... woooo! We a little bit of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with my aunt Rebecca in Bellevue, WA. We really do love Seattle. I love the city.
This one is in snoqualmie, which we loved.

WE ALSO REALLY LIKED...

Spokane. There's a new area on the North Western side of spokane up in the hills that is really nice. It actually reminded me a lot of Rancho when we first moved there. The school district is supposed to be amazing.

These are actual listings:

Snoqualmie: (also with a great school district)

289,950

1960 sq feet, 3 bd 2.5 bath

It's cute right? No really, it's seriously cute. Nottice something missing? The garage is in the back and see the little space between the two houses? That's your back yard. It's called "urban living". I'm from California, and even I think that's a small back yard!! The idea is that there's a park near by so you don't need a back yard.

Now in spokane, in the area we liked...

$277,900
2,429 sq feet, 4 bd 3 bath
PLUS: 3 car garge, unfinished basement and attic, and a back yard! and it's brand new!
Nottice how much more house you get for a similar price.

Who knows.. I'm thinking I'm going to love Denver, and I wont have to choose :-) I never thought I would be making this rediculous decision. I wish I could tell you which I liked better, but I can't. Of course brandon likes the cheaper one better ;-)

Hailey's Comments.. PLEASE

My mom's in a contest on amazon.com. She's in the quarter finals: 500 out of the original 15000. Right now the authors are ranked in order of down loads. She has fallen to #45 :-( So we need you to down load!! In my original email I said, "Don't feel obligated." But I change my mind. Feel obligated and go do it! It's good, I promise, and after you download it and read it, leaving feedback is good. Here's the link:

So, here's how this game works-the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the next couple of months, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Leave your comment, then write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Now sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember, only the first five get a gift.

I'm pretty excited about making you something ;-)
