My parents sold our cabin in packwood for $85k due to not being able to get it up to spec. Since then, it's been completely remodeled and looks like an abomination. It sold for $700k. I was always upset about that. Well, if the Cowlitz complies, that $700k will be confiscated by Poseidon in a few days, and maybe I can finally remark that my parents made a good decision.
