What a difference a day makes

ARDELL on 03 10, 2009

It was a gorgeous, sunny, blue sky day today!  The forecast looks like three days of sunshine and 50 plus degrees on Thursday.

Yesterday…taken at Sixty-01 in Redmond, WA. did someone say only 10 days until Spring?  We almost put the Christmas Tree back up for the day.

  1. WOW. 60-01. What memories. I lived there nearly 20 years ago. Last time I checked the DUES were outrageous and there was a very high rental to owner ratio. But, I will always love my memories of 60-01. !!

  2. Everyone who lives there loves it, best I can tell. But they just don’t sell well, even though they are pretty cheap, relatively speaking.

    Were you in one of the townhouses or the mid-rise buildings? I’ve seen the townhomes go from $118,000 to $305,000 and back to $250,000 and less in a relatively short period of time.

  4. I was in a building……..hmmm…….If I was there I could show you which one….it was a townhouse..but I remember it had no view and an upstairs bedroom overlooking the downstairs. I also loved it there….I was going to buy but was in college and working at the Bellevue Post office. This was back in 1988. I remember the dues were like 260. Now I heard they are 400+.

    They were always inexpensive 100-150k and I remember they had a real estate office there that sold most of the units. But, when you added the dues into the payment it was too high.

    The funny thing….I could still live there again. I don’t remember the towers to well.

  5. I’d love to meet you sometime. Do you ever get over to the Eastside? When the weather gets nicer we could bag lunch it and walk around in Sixty-01. It’s a fab place in the Spring and Summer.

    I’d like to get to know you better. I’ll even bag up a lunch for you :)

  7. I wrote a similar post about our snowy weather on my blog. Then I received a number of emails from friends and family in SLC, Eastern WY, etc. I was shocked, SHOCKED that they had the nerve to call us wimps……

  8. Ouch…you guys must really like Seattle to put up with snow in mid-March. Was 83 sunny and no humidity here in Florida yesterday :-)

  9. I’m glad we are still getting snow. The Cascades sorely need the snowpack. Without it our rivers are going to be in rough shape – bad for boaters, bad for fish and bad for our electric rates.

  10. [...] think local bloggers, including James Lupori from Kenmore Undressed and  Ardell from Rain City Guide,were all on the same weather “channel” this week. Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)The Seafair Marathon is Coming to The Kirkland [...]

  11. That is a great picture did you take it yourself?

  12. Yes, I did take the photo from the back deck of a Sixty-01 townhome. Just a little snapshot using the Galen Recommended little red camera I usually keep in my pocket. Not sure they make exactly this one anymore, which is why I got it so cheap. It’s a Lumix Panasonic DMC-FX07. It has a little zoom and wide angle to it, very simple, and not so wide that it distorts a 30″ stove to look like it’s five feed wide :) I think it cost me $199. I’ve been very happy with it.
