Seattle: I like this rainy day ferry scene...
I have a couple showing appointments today in Northern Seattle and I am thrilled that it is such a nice day, but tomorrow does not seem to be looking as nice! I actually heard that we might get another summer rain for the end of August just in time for my open house!
I like that the rain makes my grass green since I refuse to waste water keeping it green in the summer, but I also feel like Seattle has gotten robbed out of quite a few summer days this year! I actually saw someone wearing a coat to the grocery the other day!
The nicer weather does make it wonderful for showing houses because they always look better with the blue skies behind them:), but I also like having inspections in the rain. I always feel like it should be raining for an inspection so that if the roof is going to leak, it might right then and there!
The funny thing about Seattle real estate is that it does keep on going and we look at houses even in our constant winter mist. Sunny days are of course nicer so I will enjoy today! Happy Weekend!

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

I love the panoramic pictures you have of Seattle! It's beautiful there. I am coming there Tuesday of next week and am really looking forward to it!
Courtney, I think the whole rain thing in Seattle is a myth that you guys keep going to keep too many people from moving there! My brother lives on Bainbridge, and I've never ever seen it rain except between about 1 and 3 in the morning!
Courtney,
Liked your comments about the rain! This is something in south Texas (San Antonio, TX) that we usually pray for as we have spent MANY summers in droughts, water restrictions and no toobing on the Guadalupe River because of low water flow.
I guess the old saying is true that everyone always thinks that "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!"
So, when you think you have had too much rain, send it down south!
I hear ya! Let's hope only real buyers come out in the rain to the Open Houses.
Send us all the rain you can. We need it in Austin!!
;)
Rain and sunshine, can both be beautiful- especially the rainbow after.
All the best and keep on blogging.
Bill
