Interesting. Home values seem to be staying the same, but retail space is getting cheaper. I wonder if this will have an effect on housing development. Maybe it will help new businesses to open after Covid-19.

A nearby neighbor’s house, not far from Tibbetts, was put on the market after the bridge closure. Modest but very nice craftsman single story with basement. Was remodeled about 10 years ago. Slight territorial view to the south. Sold in a couple of weeks for $1.2 million.

I don’t have market stats but anecdotally, we’ve watched real estate within a couple miles of our neighborhood and almost everything I’ve checked on sold fast and NOT for cheap. So while some may have chosen to flee … others are waiting to replace them.

Underground coal mines in the Pacific Northwest had large appetites for wood products due to the nature of local mining. Unlike Eastern coal mines of flat seams and rock ceilings, those in King and Pierce Counties typically mined coal with pitches from 25º to 90º. This meant coal was above the miner and needed to be secure from collapse. To keep mines safe elaborate timbering was undertaken requiring a steady stream of lumber. When digging underground tunnels miners placed posts and cross-beams in successive sets to hold up the roof of the mine. Rough cut lagging (i.e. planks) were placed between timber sets providing a safe canopy overhead.
