In regard to the bigger picture, I recently went to a dinner where my long-time mentor and former employer was the keynote speaker. He is close to retirement and has been a developer in downtown Seattle his whole career. He talked about how, in the 1970s, Boeing was going to leave Seattle. It was a real crisis. And then, in the 1980s, interest rates were 18%, and it felt like we were never going to recover. Then it was the dotcom crash. And then it was COVID.<\/p><p>However\u2014if you had bought property downtown in the 1970s when everyone thought it was a disaster, and you were sitting on it today, it would be a goldmine! I think in the long term, Seattle has so much going for it. We have natural beauty, we have a great climate, we have vibrant arts and culture, and we have the intellectual capital from universities and the established life science and tech companies. The talent we have tends to spin off new interesting companies and create more reasons to be here, and more reasons why people want to live here. That\u2019s why I would never bet against it. Whether 2024 is going to be a great year or not, I don&#8217;t know.
