so as some of you know, I recently moved, and finally I had time today to go explore my new neighborhood. This is what I found.

Most people are familiar with the seattle coast line, but I don't think many people have seen what else there is around here. I live not far from alki beach, and am loving every moment of it. There hasn't been one bad sunsett since we moved here.

Just thought I would share with you all. Take care

Stefan,

Congrats! I'm jealous. What a gorgeous setting. I grew and live here in Las Vegas, NV. I can't wait until I retire and get out of here. I would like to move to
the Pacific Northwest. Either Oregon or Washington.

Would you mind telling me what the homes in your neighborhood go for?

Enjoy.

hehe not maya. it is just a simple photoshop compositing :nads:
 
Concur. It is Tres Magnifique. Yeah, what's real estate doing in that area? We survive in a shack here in hurricane land so it can't be that bad, right?

Good freelance? People shooting films? Hot damn, I'm ready to call uhaul. Heh, just for sunsets and hilly streets.
 
Surf is on the right track, it is infact a photo composite, but just for the exposures. There is no way a single exposure could capture the way the sunsett was, so this photo is actually 6 different exposures, in a landscape stitched compososition, but beyond exposure composition, there is no other photoshopping that went on, this is pretty much how it looked to me when I was standing there taking the photo.

As far as for how much homes go for, well, they varry quite significantly. I have to be truthfully honest and tell you that from my apartment, we don't have a view anything like this, but this is about a block and a half from where I live. Apartments range from 600-1700 depending on the view, at least the ones we looked at, but you can find apartments with a view to alki beach for about 800-850, so it really isn't that bad at all. Houses and condos are the same story, with many houses entering the 1.5-3 million dollar range, again depending on the view, but there are many affordable houses as well. Best part, downtown seattle is about a 10 min drive. God I sound like an estate salesman, "COME ON OVER TO WEST SEATLLE it's where the Rockstars and cantalope roam!" :)
 
Yes there is actually great freelance here is well, I am pretty lucky and got a good contract going with a few production companies that are based out of west seattle/ Seattle. The film industry is really growing rapidly here, and with film festivals like SIFF, it attracts more and more attention to this area each year.
 
I lived there for a few years -- mostly in north Queen Anne (right by SPU) and near Green Lake.

(Trivia -- Mary Kay Letourneau got it on with her student in a car in the SPU parking lot right outside my front window. According to news reports, anyway; I didn't actually see it.)

Do yourself a favor -- get to the U district and find Pete's, which is near Scarecrow Video, and get a calzone. They are the most insanely incredible calzones on the planet. Heaven on a plate.
 
Amazing. Almost makes me miss home. I grew up in Washington and the most I enjoyed it was when I lived on Queen Anne. I also miss having a strong, indie film community.

Great pic. Thanks for sharing.
