Thanks Gov, My Issaquah Home Is About To Rise In Value

Posted by Larry Cragun

In case you haven’t noticed there is a construction crane shortage across the nation. They have all been assigned to Bellevue and surrounding communities.

These developers either did their research or they got lucky. Governor Gregoire just signed legislation that will put a toll on not just the 520 bridge, but possibly (probably) on the I-90 bridge. Of course this is just stage one, our fair governing body is contemplating adding tolls for us to drive. As I wrote about this on the Seattle P I Real Estate Professionals blog I found comments that suggested no big deal, comments that thought it was good to tax us to not drive, and comments that suggested it was about time we did this, other cities do it.

Whatever your bent is, I say a lot of people will refuse to work in Seattle. Hey, the message is it will start around $7.00 a trip. Of course we rich eastsiders can afford it. The inside facts are they hope is they can sell us on a $10.00 per trip toll, or lull us to sleep starting with a small one.
