Apr. 5, 2009 - Seattle Blogs

Seattle blogs, that are not Real Estate Blogs, of interest:

Seattle Spin Girl About Town  "the urban girl's guide to nightspots, restaurants, fashion, networking, shopping, entertainment, and fun." There's lots of interesting stuff on Girl About Town, but I wonder if the links are paid advertisements or personal recommendations, given the format.  Very Seattle, I must admit, like this section on Green Drinks. 

Green Drinks. Try an organic Vodka like Square One or Salmon-Safe or organic wine like Badger Mountain or biodynamic wine like Bonterra that takes organic to the next level.

Hmmm, not too sure how up to date it is given they seem to be talking about Spring Runway 2008!  Be careful to check the dates on events and make sure they are not talking about last year.

Street Fashion in Seattle - Pike and Pine Blog is clearly worth a visit to check out the photos, but again...somewhat out of date and clearly not enough posts to garner daily or even weekly visits.

Urban Fashion Network  Is more to my liking regarding variety and frequency of content.  Would be better if they had categories in the sidebar. I saw a few interesting thing that screamed Seattle at first glance, like organic cotton dresses and Save The Whales by Shopping April 25th.

Feel bad to diss anyone for not blogging frequently, as I don't blog as often here on my blog as I do over at Rain City Guide. When the info is not time sensitive, and someone has been bloggng for over 3 years, a blog can have a lot of content without the need for constant frequency.  But I think fashion is an area where one would expect change at least seasonally, so at least one post a week would be nice.

Let me know which, if any, of the linked blogs you think should end up in the sidebar here or over at Rain City Guide, or both.

Jun. 28, 2007 - Moving to Seattle

I've decided to update this post as of today, April 9, 2008.  If you are moving to Seattle you should know that here in the Seattle area home buying and selling is less of a mystery for our local residents.  We likely have the best resources for finding a home online.  We being the Seattle Area as a whole.  Our buyers and sellers are tech savvy.  We have cutting edge sites like Redfin and Estately and JohnLScott.com to name a few.

Our clients enjoy lower than average commissions because they participate to a great degree in the home buying and selling process, given they have great resources available to them like Craigslist and Zillow and Trulia, and of course RainCityGuide where people ask questions and get real answers without fear of being "captured as a lead".

User friendly soft sell is the trend, and Seattle does it best.

UPDATE:  P.S. Somehow the competition for Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World picked up this post in their contest and I'm not sure why.
