Speaker 1: [0:09] Hello, hello, and welcome to Awesome in Seattle podcast. This is Christian Nossum, and I am here joined with the wonderful
Speaker 2: [0:16] Jason Saldarriaga. This is Anthony Chiumenti.
Speaker 3: [0:20] Charlotte Reynolds. Woo-hoo. Yay.
Speaker 1: [0:22] All right. So we are here today in the beautiful city of Seattle, and, uh, and I wanna know kinda, Jason, what is going on in this Seattle real estate market before we get into some, some quizzes that I'm gonna quiz you guys about Seattle history real quick. Ooh. But before that-
Speaker 2: [0:37] Yeah … what's going on? So every year you expect, uh, you know, the summer it heats up temperature-wise, but the housing market generally heats up a little bit too. Mm-hmm. There's a lot more properties on the market. There's also a lot more buyers generally. Um, and that's happening to an extent, but in my experience anecdotally, you know, it's kind of softened. For example, there's, there's this amazing development, I think it's 15 brand-new townhouses in the heart of Wallingford, amazing views of Seattle, um, and brand-new construction. Um, they're completing the first townhouse, I think will be done in a couple weeks, so they're s- almost done. And, uh, my client, uh, this was two weeks ago, looked at 'em, fell in love with one of the floor plans. There's like five units of that floor plan, and we thought it was gonna be competitive. We thought it was gonna be really hot, um, that we had to jump on it. Um, he took his time a little bit, and when he got around to submitting an offer, it, the property had been, been listed by that point for like two weeks it had been on the market. Hmm. And it was the, uh, first offer, and he got to go in pretty low and, uh, get really what he wanted out of it-
Speaker 1: [1:50] That's
Speaker 2: [1:50] awesome … instead of really competing.
Speaker 1: [1:52] And
Speaker 2: [1:52] that was in Ballard? That was in
Speaker 1: [1:53] Wallingford. Wallingford.
Speaker 2: [1:54] Yeah, I mean, it's just not what, kind of what I would have expected- Hmm … three months ago, what I would've- Yeah predicted for this time period. It's kinda nice.
Speaker 1: [2:01] Yeah. That is nice. Um, I know j- Anthony, you did an open house at our new listing.
Speaker 4: [2:09] Yep.
Speaker 1: [2:09] Kinda in Sheridan Beach, which is- Just north of, I don't even know what you'd describe that
Speaker 4: [2:15] Yeah, I actually had a conversation with someone that came in about how, uh, that area was kind of this muddled- Neighborhood? debate of shoreline and Lake Forest Park. Yeah. Yeah, so, um, but it's, it's in that area.
Speaker 1: [2:31] Yeah. It's, like, right on the shore of Lake Washington. Yeah.
Speaker 2: [2:34] Just
Speaker 4: [2:34] north of
Speaker 2: [2:34] Lake City.
Speaker 1: [2:35] Just, just north of Lake City, like 145th and Lake City. It's north of that.
Speaker 4: [2:39] Yeah. Yep.
Speaker 1: [2:40] Um, but you did an open house over the weekend, and how'd that go?
Speaker 4: [2:45] Um, so it is, first of all, the unit is a, uh, the condo unit's a one bed, one bath, um, 764 square foot, listed at 265.
Speaker 2: [2:57] That's a pretty big one bedroom.
Speaker 1: [2:59] That's a very big
Speaker 4: [3:00] one bedroom. Yeah. It is. Yeah. And, uh, it w- it's a really nice unit. The building, um, is really well-kept. Uh, HOA is well-run. Um, and it has great views of the lake since it's right on the shore there. Yeah. Uh, but the open house was, uh, surprisingly not as busy as I thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 1: [3:22] Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4: [3:22] Um, you know, with the weather being nice, sometimes- Yeah … that can lead to people being out and about doing stuff in this area. It
Speaker 1: [3:29] was definitely a beautiful weekend, and-
Speaker 4: [3:32] Yeah.
Speaker 2: [3:32] Saturday was
Speaker 1: [3:34] pretty
Speaker 2: [3:34] slow too
Speaker 1: [3:35] for- Yeah in terms
Speaker 2: [3:35] of the open house.
Speaker 1: [3:36] Yeah.
Speaker 2: [3:37] That being said, though, for that price range in that location, it's pretty- Mm. Uh, I know w- I was looking at similar properties trying to pull up some numbers and stuff, and, um, there hasn't really been anything in that price range- There's not a lot … of that type for a l- for quite some time. Yeah, yeah. So
Speaker 1: [3:51] it's- Between 200 and 300,000- Yeah … for a one or a two bedroom. There's really nothing else out there. Yeah. And this one's only 265,000.
Speaker 2: [3:59] And it's a good unit. Yeah. You know? It is, yeah. A lot of, uh, only one shared wall and- Yeah … yeah, so.
Speaker 1: [4:05] You have, yeah, it's … You have three walls, uh, that are not shared, two of which have windows 'cause it was a corner unit. There's no one below you. There's one person above you, but he's a fisherman, and he's gone half the year.
Speaker 4: [4:19] Yep. I, I met him. Oh, nice. Yeah, super nice guy. Oh,
Speaker 1: [4:22] you did? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he often will bring fish down.
Speaker 4: [4:25] Yep. Like,
Speaker 1: [4:26] whatever he caught- You mentioned … crabbing and stuff like that, he'll share … not
Speaker 4: [4:29] a bad deal. Yeah, not a bad- Fresh crab … not
Speaker 1: [4:30] a bad neighbor.
Speaker 4: [4:31] Fresh crab.
Speaker 1: [4:32] Yeah.
Speaker 4: [4:32] Um, yeah, he said he did salmon and crab fishing- Yep … in the summer, so that's not a bad treat to get when he gets, gets back. Uh, no,
Speaker 1: [4:39] no. And then you got that giant shared rooftop deck that apparently no one is ever on.
Speaker 4: [4:44] Yeah.
Speaker 3: [4:44] I know. Yeah. This girl was telling me that she uses it all the time, and she never sees anybody.
Speaker 1: [4:49] Yeah.
Speaker 3: [4:49] But she also, you know, talks to other residents of the building, and they're like, "Yeah, we use it all the time, and we never see anybody either." So-
Speaker 1: [4:55] Yeah … Speaker 3: people use it, but just apparently never at the same time. Mm-hmm. Which is nice. It's almost like your own private balcony. Well, the seller, the owner of this place told me that they make a little tray in the morning, especially on the weekends or their days off, make a little breakfast tray with coffee and, like, pastries or toast or whatever, and they bring it out there - Yeah onto that rooftop deck and just eat out there.
Speaker 3: [5:16] It's so nice out there. I would do the same thing.
Speaker 1: [5:18] I mean, yeah. You got- It's so beautiful … 180-degree view of the lake- Yeah … and Mount Rainier. It's just gorgeous.
Speaker 2: [5:22] So moral of the story, it's surprising that this
Speaker 1: [5:28] property was just listed. Yeah, exactly. Geez. Go off about this condo, and you're like, "Oh, yeah. What, what- Like, I should buy it … were we talking
Speaker 3: [5:30] about
Speaker 4: [5:31] again?" I mean, it is … It's a, it's a really well-located g- well-priced condo.
Speaker 1: [5:35] Yeah. Um- And it did just come on the market, so hopefully-
Speaker 4: [5:37] Yeah … Speaker: maybe by the time you're listening to this, it'll probably be sold. But if it's not, you can always reach out to us and if you have interest. Um, Charlotte, what's going on with you?
Speaker 3: [5:45] Um, yeah, I actually also have a client that's under contract for a house, um, up in Greenwood. Um, which is cool 'cause I used to live right by it, so it was nice- Mm-hmm … to kind of go back up there and see. Um, but it was a really cute little house at a great price point. It was listed at 495, and we came in under asking. They did counter back, but she still, you know, they're under contract for under the asking price.
Speaker 1: [6:06] Nice. Um,
Speaker 3: [6:06] and they didn't get any other offers. We were the only people that had submitted, so.
Speaker 1: [6:10] Hmm.
Speaker 3: [6:11] Um, yeah, it's definitely not that bidding war situation that you'd expect to see at
Speaker 1: [6:17] this time. Except I just made an offer over the weekend. Uh, a- again, lower price point, uh, on the edge of kinda Newcastle and Renton, and it was… Basically, there were three offers that came in. Our offer wasn't the highest, and we didn't even have the best contingencies, yet we still got the offer accepted. And you might be going, "What the hell?"
Speaker 3: [6:43] It's because you're awesome.
Speaker 1: [6:45] Well, duh. We are the Awesome in Seattle podcast, so. Uh, but no, it was because I had helped her, the buyer, create an emotional connection with the seller.
Speaker 2: [6:57] Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1: [6:57] And that is what helped us. Uh, and that's where hiring an expert agent whenever you're out in the market, uh, can really help because the other two agents didn't do that. And even though they had the strongest offer with the best price, they didn't take that one. So it's not always the best price that, that gets you the offer. All right, so now it is quiz time. So I'm gonna quiz you guys. We're gonna do kinda fast 'cause I got a few of them in here, a few questions, but I wanna know, uh, if you guys know any of these answers.
Speaker 2: [7:25] Oh, goodness gracious.
Speaker 1: [7:26] Yes, exactly. So when- Do you
Speaker 4: [7:27] want the answer or you just wanna know if we know it?
Speaker 1: [7:29] I want the answer. He wants the answer.
Speaker 4: [7:30] Okay.
Speaker 3: [7:32] Yeah, I totally know. I'm not telling you.
Speaker 1: [7:34] I know the answer. I'm not telling you what I think it is. Uh, when Seattle was first founded in 1851, do you know what its original name was?
Speaker 3: [7:43] Wasn't it New York?
Speaker 1: [7:44] It was Wow. Yes. Good guess. It was- I guess … originally, you know, New York, but, uh, why is still unclear. So several members of the Denny Party, you know, like, the Denny Triangle, um, they first settled in Alki Point in 1851, and they hailed from New York State, so they think that's why they called it New York. Uh, but then the, that kinda group of people moved across Elliott Bay, and they renamed it Seattle after Chief Seattle, a Duwamish Indian chief, uh, befriended them.
Speaker 4: [8:20] Hmm. Mm-hmm. So, uh, really it should've been, like, New New York.
Speaker 1: [8:24] New New-
Speaker 4: [8:25] Or Newer York … York
Speaker 1: [8:26] Seattle. Newer York, yeah. ' Speaker 4: Cause there already was one.
Speaker 2: [8:29] Newest. Newest
Speaker 1: [8:30] York. Newest York. There you go. All right, question two, another history question. After being, uh, inhabited by Native American tribes for over 4,000 years, who was the first European to visit the Seattle area?
Speaker 2: [8:47] Vancouver?
Speaker 3: [8:48] I have
Speaker 1: [8:48] no idea. Yes. Wow. George Vancouver- Nice … during his voyage to chart the Pacific Coast of North America in 1792. He was the one.
Speaker 3: [8:58] How did you know that?
Speaker 2: [9:00] I don't know. I
Speaker 1: [9:01] don't ask. Um, I know that Jason knows this 'cause I have been there with him, but Charlotte and Anthony, do you know that there's an entire city 22 feet under the central business, business district downtown Seattle?
Speaker 4: [9:18] Yes.
Speaker 3: [9:18] Is that where they do the underground tour? Yes. Okay, yes. So that- Then I did know that-
Speaker 1: [9:22] That is- … 'cause I've been on that
Speaker 3: [9:22] tour … Speaker: the reason for the underground tour. Do you know why there's an underground- ' Speaker 3: Cause of
Speaker 1: [9:27] the
Speaker 3: [9:27] fire … city?
Speaker 1: [9:27] Yes, the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. Uh, it started when a woodworker mishandled hot glue, and it resulted in 116-acre fire.
Speaker 4: [9:41] Oh my
Speaker 1: [9:41] goodness. And it literally reduced the entire city to ash. So instead of moving or relocating, uh, the city, the, the residents decided to just build on top of the rubble, and this time instead of using wood, they used brick and steel.
Speaker 3: [10:00] At least they learn from their mistakes.
Speaker 1: [10:02] Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: [10:03] Not to be, like, a correctionist here, but there's a lot more to the story.
Speaker 1: [10:07] Well, there is, but still,
Speaker 3: [10:10] I mean, I've- You're like the biggest correctionist I know … forever. So don't try to play it off- Correctionist … like that's not who you really
Speaker 2: [10:15] are. The fire was in, like the impetus of it, but yeah, they definitely, um, there were issues with drainage and sewer.
Speaker 1: [10:22] Yeah, there was a lot of other issues as well, but- yes, that's what started it. For
Speaker 3: [10:26] the sake of the quiz, Jason- Yeah,
Speaker 1: [10:27] exactly … it was the fire. We're trying to be quick here. All right, so who do you think was Seattle's first millionaire?
Speaker 2: [10:35] That, yeah. Yeah
Speaker 4: [10:37] First millionaire
Speaker 3: [10:38] in- I know that I've learned this
Speaker 4: [10:39] before somewhere, but I can't remember … uh, someone in the, uh, Denny family. I don't know. Nope. Is
Speaker 2: [10:43] it that woman?
Speaker 1: [10:44] Nope.
Speaker 2: [10:44] Oh. Um, Yesler.
Speaker 1: [10:48] Yep.
Speaker 2: [10:48] With the- Oh … his mill. Okay.
Speaker 1: [10:49] Yep. Yep. Sure.
Speaker 4: [10:51] So
Speaker 1: [10:51] Henry- It would probably be a street name … Henry Yesler, he opened a sawmill. Um, he came to Seattle shortly after it was settled, and he became what was the country's first s- or built what was the first steam-powered sawmill.
Speaker 2: [11:05] Yeah, and what's- Cool … really cool, in the first podcast we did, we talked about, like, the picture. Yeah … the first picture of Seattle, like- The first picture of Seattle … those, I don't think it was that picture, but the next picture that was like- Mm … five years later, you can see his mill in it and stuff. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: [11:18] Mm. Uh, Henry Yesler also served as Seattle's seventh and 15th mayor.
Speaker 2: [11:25] Interesting.
Speaker 1: [11:25] Not- Nice … quite sure why there was such a big gap, but-
Speaker 4: [11:28] Just- Came out of retirement … Speaker: came out of retirement. "I'm gonna do this again." Uh, speaking of mayors, did you know that Seattle was the first mage and, major American city to have a female mayor?
Speaker 2: [11:41] Bertha.
Speaker 1: [11:41] Yeah. Do you know her full name? N-
Speaker 2: [11:44] not Big Bertha.
Speaker 1: [11:47] And not- That came
Speaker 4: [11:48] later.
Speaker 1: [11:49] And not the Bertha that dug the tunnel.
Speaker 4: [11:51] Yeah.
Speaker 2: [11:51] Hold on. Yeah … Big Bertha.
Speaker 1: [11:52] Yeah, right. Uh, Bertha Knight Landes. She held the office from 1926 to 1928, and she was known for taking a hard line against corruption. She actually fired the police chief.
Speaker 2: [12:05] Wow.
Speaker 1: [12:06] How many mayors that are female have we had since?
Speaker 2: [12:10] One.
Speaker 1: [12:11] Zero.
Speaker 2: [12:12] Wow.
Speaker 1: [12:14] Zero Seattle mayors that have been female.
Speaker 2: [12:15] Our current mayor.
Speaker 1: [12:17] Well, okay. Sure.
Speaker 2: [12:18] Yeah, that's what was so big. Okay. Like, oh, my God, it's almost 100 years later.
Speaker 1: [12:21] Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: [12:22] What progress.
Speaker 1: [12:23] I know. Seattle's so progressive.
Speaker 2: [12:25] Zero between
Speaker 4: [12:26] then and-
Speaker 1: [12:26] Mm-hmm the
Speaker 4: [12:27] current mayor.
Speaker 1: [12:28] So another question. After World War I, their, Boeing had some very lean years. To get by, they started making some things other than airplanes. I love
Speaker 2: [12:40] this quiz.
Speaker 1: [12:42] You're welcome. What do you think they made other than just airplanes? Did you say Boeing? Boeing, yes.
Speaker 3: [12:53] They made sandwiches. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: [13:00] Like, I have no idea. Uh, the- The-
Speaker 1: [13:02] Furniture … Speaker 2: furniture is correct. Furniture? Really? Yeah. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3: [13:06] I guess that makes sense 'cause I get air- Photograph
Speaker 2: [13:07] cases,
Speaker 1: [13:08] corset frames-
Speaker 2: [13:09] They got into a lot- Furniture … if you go into the Red Barn on Boeing Field, like the, their original factory, it's the Red Barn I think is what it's called.
Speaker 1: [13:18] Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2: [13:19] They j- they needed money. Yeah. They got into a lot of stuff and furniture, yeah. It was a big one. I think they did boats as well. They were on South Lake U- or Lake Union.
Speaker 1: [13:26] Yeah, they were on Lake Union. Yep. Um, so that was before, you know, all the World War II and all the jet propulsion engines and all that stuff kinda took Boeing to the next level.
Speaker 2: [13:38] Yeah, that's what saved them.
Speaker 1: [13:40] Yeah. Um, okay, we only have two more questions. So how long do you think the Space Needle took to build? How long did it take to build the Space Needle?
Speaker 2: [13:52] A year.
Speaker 1: [13:53] One year is Anthony's guess.
Speaker 3: [13:54] I was gonna say, like, nine months.
Speaker 1: [13:56] Nine months is Charlotte's guess. I
Speaker 2: [13:58] was there- You
Speaker 1: [13:59] were there?
Speaker 2: [13:59] two days ago.
Speaker 1: [14:01] Oh, when they built it?
Speaker 2: [14:02] No. That too. I was there. I was… And I, I, not, I'm not playing, like, Price Is Right or whatever. I think it was 10 months.
Speaker 1: [14:11] The correct answer is 400 days.
Speaker 2: [14:14] Whoa. Wow. Anthony wins. Anthony wins. So
Speaker 1: [14:16] how many-
Speaker 2: [14:17] So like a- Just over a
Speaker 1: [14:18] year … so like a y- just- Just over a year … year and two months or so.
Speaker 2: [14:21] Yeah. Yeah, okay. Pretty fast. Yeah, it was really fast, though. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: [14:23] That was
Speaker 2: [14:23] very, very fast.
Speaker 1: [14:24] Uh, crazy thing I did not know is that it was designed on the back of a cocktail napkin.
Speaker 3: [14:30] Really?
Speaker 1: [14:31] Mm-hmm. Edward Carlson, Edward E. Carlson designed it on the back of a cocktail napkin. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair. Um, it can withstand up to 200 mile per hour winds. And apparently a 9.1- Hopefully we won't get any of those … magnitude earthquake because their foundation extends 30 feet underground.
Speaker 3: [14:51] Yeah.
Speaker 4: [14:52] Great. Good to know.
Speaker 1: [14:53] I know. Geez.
Speaker 4: [14:54] Now I don't have to worry when I'm up there.
Speaker 1: [14:56] Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3: [14:57] Have, like, have you guys been up there recently since they redone it? I
Speaker 1: [15:00] know
Speaker 2: [15:00] you
Speaker 1: [15:00] have.
Speaker 2: [15:00] I have

Speaker 2: [16:48] I, I have a question. Did y'all know that there's a forest under- Like, it's a sunken forest- … under Lake Washington. We're laughing because that was what the previous podcast was about. Exactly. So if you didn't laugh, you need to listen to that
Speaker 1: [17:00] one. You need to definitely check out the Timber Pirate episode. Because it
Speaker 4: [17:03] does exist.
Speaker 1: [17:04] And you'll learn what a timber pirate is, and it's freaking amazing, and I think they should name the new NHL team Timber Pirates.
Speaker 4: [17:11] Yeah. Well, that's a fun fact, too, I guess. That is a fun fact. That Seattle used to have a professional hockey team.
Speaker 1: [17:17] They did, yes.
Speaker 4: [17:18] Yeah.
Speaker 1: [17:18] Why don't you
Speaker 4: [17:19] explain- A lot of people- what their
Speaker 1: [17:19] name was and what year they won the championship,
Speaker 4: [17:21] do you know? Oh, man, the year that they won, I'm not gonna be able to just pull out of a- I, I don't know either … pull out a hat. But, uh, they did win the, the Stanley Cup a long time ago, the Seattle Metropolitans.
Speaker 2: [17:31] Yeah. Seattle Metropolitans.
Speaker 1: [17:34] Mm-hmm. Interesting. Are you gonna wear their, like, Seattle Metropolitans jersey, um, for the first game when they open up?
Speaker 4: [17:41] Um, I probably won't. I'll probably have the real jersey by that time.
Speaker 3: [17:46] So wait, have they named- … the team already?
Speaker 1: [17:48] No.
Speaker 4: [17:48] They haven't, no. Okay.
Speaker 1: [17:49] Which is why I think they should go with Timber Pirates.
Speaker 3: [17:51] So we should start a petition-
Speaker 2: [17:51] Seattle
Speaker 1: [17:51] Freeze … for- Petition Seattle Freeze or Seattle Timber Pirates. They won the Stanley Cup- Which both are, like- I know, they are … Speaker 3: really legitimate
Speaker 3: [17:58] names, to be
Speaker 1: [17:58] honest. They won the Stanley Cup in 1917.
Speaker 4: [18:02] 1917,
Speaker 1: [18:02] wow.
Speaker 2: [18:03] I just wanna see the mascot for the Seattle Freeze, like a-
Speaker 1: [18:08] Just an icicle.
Speaker 2: [18:10] It'd be amazing, a walking icicle. Like-
Speaker 4: [18:12] Or you bring back the, you bring back the Sasquatch, but it's a yeti.
Speaker 2: [18:15] Or really, like- … it could just be, like, a really, like, sullen- That makes sense … like, hipster.
Speaker 1: [18:20] Yeah, exactly. That won't look you in the eyes.
Speaker 4: [18:23] Yeah. Just blends into the crowd perfectly.
Speaker 2: [18:25] And, like, always is,
Speaker 4: [18:28] like, backing up. He's, like, aware
Speaker 2: [18:29] of, aware of walls. Into a corner. Slowly back away. Or, like- All right … not, having a phone ring, but not answering it.
Speaker 1: [18:35] On that note- … I think we're done. Uh, thank you everybody for listening. Please subscribe, comment, like, and, uh, share this if you would, please. Tell your friends. This is a fun episode, so hopefully you like it as well. Thanks for listening, guys.
Speaker 3: [18:48] Thanks. Till next time, bye. Bye.
