We have an accepted offer on a new condominium for my mother to move from Rochester, NY, to join the rest of the clan in Seattle. Occupancy is pending financing and closing of the deal, scheduled for October 11. I’m planning to visit Rochester to help her close the deal, pack up her stuff and dispose of the rest, including selling her townhouse there.

Here are pictures of the exterior of the building which houses her condo. Within the next three to five years, construction is scheduled to begin on a metro station with links to downtown and the airport, as well as further north, that will result in the tearing down of buildings to the right as you are facing the condominium building.

What a relief when we walked into this place and found a condominium all of us, especially Mom, felt could be her new home in Seattle.

The Views —

The views from the top floor corner unit include Mount Rainier and the Olympics, although a hazy day in Seattle made them difficult to see in these pictures.
