Information from King County
The King County Assessor’s office has begun the annual process of mailing property valuation notices to taxpayers. Notices will be arriving soon in many areas. Median residential property values fell by 5.4% in Western West Seattle, and by 5.9% in Fauntleroy.
2023 property values continued to be dramatically affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. After reaching all-time highs in quarter 2 of 2022 due to a lack of inventory for sale, residential property values corrected downwards throughout King County.
“COVID changed our lives, and it continues to impact the real estate market,“ said King County Assessor John Wilson. “In 2020 and 2021, residential prices and values went through the roof because people chose to not put homes on the market, causing a major imbalance between supply and demand. The housing market is still very healthy, but it cooled considerably in 2022, bringing values down a bit.”
11 bands, local vendors, food, beer gardens and after parties are all part of the 2nd Annual Admiral Funktion Block party in the Admiral District Aug. 26. The event will run from 11am to 10pm.
California Ave will be closed off between SW Admiral Way and SW College St to provide safe and open space for the neighborhood to gather.
