Not sure on this since you said 5-6 miles form downtown. but if you
look in the Bremerton area the housing is much cheaper and the ferry
is free to walk 1 way and inexpensive to come back.<br>
<br>
as for insulation you should find it in newer construction as it's
in the national codes. but the older homes before codes well nope
it's not there.<br>

stock. I am amazed to see little or no insulation in the small
older craftsman style houses built in the first quarter of the
last century. This only where I can actually check it out, like
areas that open to space beneath the roof. Here I see no
insulation at all. Again, is roof insulation in this part of the
country non-existent? Energy efficient building non-existent?<br>
<br>
I'm in the very strange position of needing to invest a fair
amount of money in a property. Expensive here, I am looking in
the $500,000 price range which doesn't get one much in this city.
Working with a Realtor I like, I nonetheless would be happy to
have advice. Am checking out any sort of housing within about 5-6
miles of downtown Seattle. I have strict time constraints.<br>
<br>
Anyone on this list living in Seattle? I know the housing bubble
created a frenzy of building in the last decade, probably bad
construction. Are there known good builders? Who are they? Am
interested in viewing anything built over the last 100 years.
Prefer no condos.<br>
<br>
Would appreciate responses. Sacie<br>
