Info already out of date. Our local news reports that Seattle (King and Pierce Counties) have a median home price of $770,000 and the east side (other side of Lake Washington) is $880,000. And heard last night Bellevue, WA - an eastside city - has topped $1M median price.
It's partly due to Vancouver, BC enacting a 15% foreign purchaser tax on all property purchases. Now those Asian buyers are looking south and, as noted by a couple of people already, dropping (parking/hiding?) cash and driving up prices in the area.
