The taxpayers won't like this, but the kids and teachers and parents will. The Port Townsend School Board voted to put a $33.8 million construction bond to build a new elementary school before voters this spring.  The 15-year bond would give the school $33.8 million for a new Elementary campus.  $17,933,418 in interest the total cost to taxpayers would be around $52 million.  Under the proposal, a home valued for tax assessment  at $200,000 would pay an additional $158 per year until 2012. After that, $1.73 per assessed thousand valuation. After 2012, a home valued at $325,000 would be charged $562.25 a year.

The weather is fantastic.  Clear and sunny, a little bit chilly, but with the Olympic Mountains and Cascade range towering on the horizons and blue water on 3 sides of our little town, who cares how warm it is!  Spring is on our doorstep and that means new listings are going to pop up like flowers...for example there was 20 new condo listings just todya in Port Townsend. 02/18/2008

January was tepid with only 4 houses sold in the city limits of Port Townsend in the NWMLS.  Phone and showing traffic is up the last 2 weeks.  Spring is here and things should be ok this year with interest rates down and a large inventory.  Good time for Buyers! 02/18/2008
