I’ve been skiing in Whistler which explains the lack of posts here. I’ll blog more tonight, in the meantime here is a 1913 two level loft in Pioneer Square that came on the market at $589,000:
I think the no parking might be a deal breaker for many.
But if you’re more a Capitol Hill person check out 214 Summer Ave E #402. Also two levels but larger at 1,550 square feet and only $465,000.
Friends of mine are selling the place (they didn’t use Redfin because its a co-op.) At $465,000 I think it’s priced to sell but like the Pioneer Square loft it is lacking parking. I may be biased but if I were still on the market for a place I’d have seriously considered this unit. Downsides: no parking and a co-op. But upsides are that it has a view, it’s large, cheap $/square foot and exposed brick.

The price is pretty reasonable, but the $804 Home owners dues are extremely high. I wonder if the building is in need of major repairs?

It is my understanding it includes the taxes as well…

One is close to the viaduct, the other a big parking lot. But I do like the interior of both units.

The city bought that parking lot a year ago to turn it into a park. :)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Develop a community park at the the northeast corner of E. John Street and Summit Avenue E.
Parks purchased the .21 acre property in 2007. The current use, that of a parking lot, will continue until shortly before construction starts in 2009.
See the Pro Parks acquisition webpage for more information.

Hey Matt - On your suggestion, I created a website for our co-op, with some additional details:

Thanks again for the post and advice!

How is a unit on the fourth floor considered a Live / Work loft?
Just looks like a “normal” condo to me. A big one at that.
