Californians in town.

I was talking to a Seattle suburb realtor today. I found a fiveplex I am interested in and wanted more information. He searched the property and told me there is an offer already. The offer came in just three days after the property had been on the market. He said there are a lot of Californian investors in town doing condo conversions. And people are really excited about the coming Olympics!

The Winter Olympics in 2010 will be actually in Vancouver, Canada. It is two hours drive away and there will be no activities on the US side. But anywhere I go between Vancouver and Seattle on the US side, I hear people are really excited about the Olympics!

On the realistic side, there is talk about Vancouver-Seattle joint application to host the future Soccer World Cup.
