Yuppie Slums of Issaquah
I forgot to make this post a month ago, when I first took the picture.
Over in Issaquah, there's a large development of townhouses or some much, up above a large shopping area and a regional Boeing office building. The houses, are very densely packed and look all alike:

I need to get a better picture to give the full impact of what the development looks like. Now, I'm sure these houses sell for lots of money and are home to various professionals. But I couldn't imagine living in that dense maze of no-elbow-room housing. Which is why the name "Yuppie Slums of Issaquah" came to mind.

We used to live in a neighborhood in sammamish that had *two* house models and three kinds of paint. It was awful... when we first moved in we thought the cookie cutter neighborhood was no big deal, but it really wore on us after a couple of years.
