Go (one mile) west!
There's no good way to lead up to this, so I'll just come right out and say it: we have a new condo! It's in Belltown, which is the area between downtown Seattle (the part with the famous market) and Seattle Center (the part with the famously wacky architecture).
We closed on Monday, and we plan to be moved in by the middle of the month. It has all the usual amenities (two bedrooms, two bathrooms, awesome kitchen, parking spot) and some unusual ones (gas stove, fireplace, giant-sized bathtub). I am particularly excited about the kitchen and the bathtub, as well as the fact that since it's on the ground floor of the building, we get a small portion of the front courtyard of the building instead of a balcony like everyone else does.
I took some bad pictures, and regrettably left out the building's rooftop deck, which has a spectacular view of Puget Sound. The furniture in the pictures is the previous owner's.
[belated update by Eldan on December 4th: I've started a Flickr album of photos from this rooftop deck. Man, we live in a beautiful area. Incidentally, the Edgewater is 3 blocks from our new home, and one of the reasons we chose that venue was that the ballroom has a similar view to the sea-facing side of the roof.]
I should also note that our buyer's agent was absolutely fantastic, so if any of you are considering a real estate purchase in the area, I can pass his info along.
