Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d

Housing Market Dynamics
Immigrants living in the U.S. have added $3.7 trillion to the country's housing wealth between 1970 and 2010. Now, immigrant households collectively hold $5.4 trillion in housing wealth. As immigrants settle into communities, housing demand rises, supporting economic activity and boosting home values.
While increased housing wealth raises concerns about affordability, immigration has been shown to stabilize prices in declining areas. For instance, the influx of immigrants has stabilized Chicago's population and housing market. The peripheral neighborhoods of New York, San Francisco, and Atlanta have similarly benefited, counteracting declines and revitalizing communities.
A 2017 study found that a 1% population increase due to immigration correlated with a 0.8% rise in rents and home values. This effect was more pronounced in surrounding metros, with a 1.6% increase in rents and a 9.6% increase in home values.
