Housing Alongside Sproat Lake

When you go out on a lake, you figure that there will be some nice properties along the lakeshore.  It’s a desirable place to live so you figure some money is going to be spent to live there.  The top shot is just a view along the shore where we rented the boat, but the others are some of the places we saw.  While most of them seem really good, I was disappointed in one place.  The structure of the house looked really nice but the concrete structures between it and the water look really unappealing from out on the boat.  Sure, if you are in it, you can’t see that.  However, if I am spending that much on a place, I’d want it to look great from outside too!

View Across Lake Washington from the Bridge

The SR520 bridge across Lake Washington provides some great views of the lake and the shoreline around it.  The nice thing about riding my bike across the bridge’s cycle trail is that it means I can stop and take some photos – even if they are only with my phone.  The headland leading in to the Montlake Cut seems like a great place to live when it is a warm and sunny day in Seattle.

The other end of the bridge is the location of some pretty impressive houses.  It is an area that is popular with many of the tech moguls that make Seattle home.  I figured it would be wrong not to take a moment to have a look at the nice houses there.  Bear in mind that these houses, while very nice and next to the lake are also right next to a major highway!
