I would guess that there will be other people like yourself, artsy, musical folks who can't afford the skyrocketing prices of other neighborhoods so move where they can afford it.

What kind of freelancing does Dre do? I got laid off last month, and I'm running into lots of freelancing gigs in computer related fields. I may be able to pass some leads on. Send me an email.

i love your map. i say the closer to Mt. Baker the better. it’s a vortex.

good luck!!!!
