[@kwang84404]

Thanks to social media, found out T&T Market (largest Asian chain grocery store in Canada) just opened up in Bellevue,WA.Its the size of a Walmart and now is the largest Asian grocery store in Washington state.

Seattle does have basketball, Seattle Storm ⛈️ 🏀

[@MonicaChurch]

I totally forgot I’m sorry!! I don’t follow basketball as well but I’ve been to a Storm game so that’s silly of me to forget. 😅

[@bolgie24]

@ no apologies needed, just hyping up the city for having so many options for sports events 🙌🏼

[@exploringfindeverything]

Monica, what an interesting vlog about buying homes in the Seattle area. You seem so comfortable in front of the camera and it shows how well you are. Thank you

[@genxtechguy]

Sonics returning soon. Excited to have all four major sports teams. Long overdue for Seattle.

[@Matthanna90]

Great video Monica! Also the palm spring house background looks really good

[@omorenof]

great guide! thank you!

[@louanndunlap]

Very informative!!!!

[@katherineaguilar19]

Such a great video!

[@kwang84404]

For a quick weekend excursion, its only a 2.5 hour drive from Seattle to Vancouver,BC.Getting into Canada from the US is quick and easy, but there is always a long line coming back into the US from Canada.

Cap gains law is written maliciously and doesn’t include your short term losses. For example if you have have a long term gain $500k, but you have $240k short term losses your federal long term gain is $260k and you pay about 23% or about $60k in federal tax but you also pay 7% of $240k which an extra $16k on gains you actually didn’t have

[@Jeroen74]

I know you've talked about it in an older video, but you forgot to mention the infamous Seattle Freeze 😌

[@kateh6775]

If there’s one thing I will always watch it’s your KZbin videos even though they have nothing to do with my life haha

[@dadchurch3055]

And there’s Green Lake!

[@samzhang867]

I think to your point Seattle might be a very walkable city in terms of accessibility (you mentioned bridges/overpasses) But if we're talking the ratio of time/distance to "things" in a city, the most walkable city is hands down NYC, not even close

[@MonicaChurch]

Yes that’s a great point! The definition I was thinking about was very different. I agree NYC is hands down the most walkable in those terms.

[@ChristopherYoung5977]

Pro tip. It's not the Puget Sound. It's Puget Sound. You wouldn't say the lake Michigan!

[@mallorygraf8574]

I do love condos but hate the HOAs. Love/Hate for sure...if lots of amenties, fine, but if I'm not using them, why not have lower rates?

[@simplyboppingK]

I know I could do a google search, but what is the weather like there? I'm North dakotan so I'm not too worried about winter but just interested in the difference if there is any.

[@genxtechguy]

Any news on the upcoming Bellevue development “Pinnacle”? Seems like a huge development with up to 15 mid and high-rise buildings … condos?

[@jeannine1991]

NYC & SF are more walkable, but Seattle is lovely when it isn’t raining

[@zaneschannel9470]

Didn't she move from wa to ca before and now move back? how bad was ca

[@Erickthedreamgiver]

Let's go.

[@collinhadley4119]

The most walkeable city is NYC?

[@conniesmith3837]

You were going to get your California R.E. license. Did you???

[@ilyaw.3081]

SF is more walkable than Seattle. The surrounding water makes Seattle so gorgeous.

[@kwang84404]

Just avoid tenderloin and downtown SF.Suburbs in SF are still really nice.

[@genxtechguy]

I think the Seattle waterfront has really leveled up with all the new development from Pike Place, the new aquarium, the boardwalk, the great wheel, cruise ships, the ferries coming and going. In the summer, it’s quite magical. Arguably better than SF now.

[@darrenhankner5282]

I like living in south Florida bow I live in Joshua Tree. but if I could afford to move back to Cape Coral Florida I would in a heart beat. the weather in Seattle is too cloudy and cold. makes me depressed. Kurt Cobain killed himself in Seattle

[@kwang84404]

Seattle deserves an NBA team.

[@genxtechguy]

Sonics are very likely to return around 2026 season-ish.

[@kwang84404]

@genxtechguy Let's hope Adam Silver approves Seattle as an NBA expansion team city.Then there would be a renewed, Pacific northwest rivalry between the new Sonics and the Portland Trailblazers.

[@davidjeffersjeffers7918]

Th waterway that connects Puget Sound to Lake Union and Lake Washington is actually called The Lake Washington Ship Canal.

[@MonicaChurch]

Yes but Seattelites call it “the cut” 😊

[@davidjeffersjeffers7918]

@@MonicaChurch "The Cut" refers to the Montlake area, not the entire ship canal.

[@conniesmith3837]

When will you have a marriage update???

[@kirklandphil]

GO KRAKEN!!!

[@Wineglass15]

Hello??? You have a damn good basketball team. The Seattle STORM. I'm shocked you feel that because the team isn't men it doesn't count?

[@dadchurch3055]

I think she just forgot, but yes they are a great franchise!
