"Women's Roller Derby, Seattle "

"Seattle's Property Values-$500,000. It's not really a house, and it has no yard."

A $405,000 offer was turned down for this "house," a former boat house, now a shell, on zero acres, in Ballard, 10 miles north of downtown Seattle. It needs a new roof and new wooden pilings to rest on, and after that, you'll have to fix it up. But boy, what a view!

"Hey Mom, where's the line for the popcorn?" 

"Just Not Their Day"

"Say, have you seen a glove laying around? It's black, spiked, outlined in bones."

"Hold Still"

A typical Seattle Beach outing.
