good prices in seattle area
Comments (22)I will probably get flamed mercilously, but I love Angelo's. It's like going to a garage sale. You never know what you'll find and the prices are great. I picked up a very overgrown 1 gal wooly thyme from their "clearance" rack for $3 last year. After dividing and taking cuttings, it has turned into over 100 starts for my non-lawn. A couple months ago, they had 2 gal Leyland Cypress for $20 each. I would have gotten more than two, but that's all I could get in the Miata (with the top down). Another hit-or-miss place is Rosso's at the north end of Boeing Field/Georgetown. The place is pretty scruffy, the plants might look a little disheveled, but everything I've gotten there has been healthy and done well. If it's a slow day, the might even be open to haggling on prices if you are buying lots of plants. Eric is also right: watch for the South Seattle Comm College plant sale. Bargains galore....See MoreJust starting in Seattle area
Comments (11)Thank you everyone for your helpful information. imap has been good for helping me see creeks, rivers, lakes, and flood zones. It has been hit and miss for wetlands. I found one 2 acre plot that was level and perfect. imap showed no wetlands but a survey on record showed it heavy with marked wetlands. I had a general contractor friend walk it with me and he didn't see anything particularly markedly wetlands-ish ... but it was more likely the last undeveloped lot in the area so they came down on it harder. Something about needing or wanting a certain % to remain wetlands? Either way, we left it behind. I'd love to find a plot with water readily accessible but that brings the lot closer to Issaquah/Sammamish proper and that tends to push it beyond my price point. There is one lot that is coming on my radar with price drops that I *think* has water in the street. I have my realtor looking into it. A little more sloped than I'd prefer but not bad, and I think I can make it work. If it does indeed have water hook up available that will make it easier to get a loan on. Speaking of loans, if you bought land in my area do you mind sharing who you got your land loan from? Once I put in a bid, I'll make it contingent on perc testing for septic (if applicable), drilling well (if applicable)... if water/sewer is available I'll contact the city and find out costs for bringing the water/sewer to the house. Land survey, and of course I'll have it eval'ed for wetlands. Thanks for giving me the name of the permit for clearing trees (clearing and grading permit) - definitely will need that. With building permits, can they be generic? Like a permit for a basic footprint of the number of beds/baths/SF? Or do they need specific plans to approve? If they don't need specific plans it may be a good idea to get the permits there and extend them as needed. At least one builder has asked me to have them look at any prospective lots before we make a bid. I plan on chatting with 1 or two more builders in the near future.

Comments (21)Hi All, My ten trees are gone. I may be downsizing more in the future and will repost if so. Mike and Laura, I couldn't let go of my Bouquet de Fleurs or Tango. It was so hard to let my babies go, but I feel confident they now have a good new home and caring owner - thank you junk4us!...See MorePersimmons in Seattle area
Comments (3)Visit, or phone, nearby large retail garden centers, ask for the person in charge of the fruit tree section and ask him/her. And/or contact your county's Extension Service office as the folks there will know which one will produce fruit for you.
