Location

A driveway in Canyon Park, Bothell.

Participants

Plans

Drive by before work, return about 2pm. Care to join me?

Expedition

First driveby reveals the path open and accessible. One of the two houses at the end of the drive seems to have been for sale recently and is "pending" according to Zillow.

During the drive out, I noticed several bright orange Notice of Land Use signs, so on my return journey I vowed to check one of these out.

My return journey was shortly after 2pm, and I was in a hurry. I drove down the lane in question and parked at the "sold" house, which looks abandoned. Trees and wires conspired to keep the satellite coordinates jumping, but I reached the location by a fence. There was also an unusual wire mesh I took a photo of - the backing of a sign perhaps? A high-in-the-air ivy trellis? Not sure.

Exiting the lot, I found a sign - lovingly decorated with a grim reaper, vulture, and a shrouded flamingo. It turns out that this land has been purchased by the The Grove at Canyon Park which is going to turn the four or five wooded parcels into a 53 unit subdivision. From the zillow records above, it looks like the owner of this lot did okay - what was once worth 350k sold for nearly 800k. The house looks nice and it is a shame to tear it down, though.
