New home sales: Great deals at center of state, end of runway

Great deals on new homes can be found on the plains and near the planes.

That's the word from Seattle-area real estate appraiser Richard Hagar. New developments on the  flatlands of  Quincy, Wash., and the "loud lands" near Sea-Tac Airport are being built and sold at a pretty fast clip. Hagar tells KPLU's John Maynard there are some interesting reasons for that.

Quincy's motto is "Where agriculture meets technology." Ag related industries there include processing, shipping and storage with 200,000 acres of irrigated land growing all types of seed and vegetable crops, as well as soft fruits.

Tourism is also big. The Gorge Amphitheater is only 10 miles away and the Crescent Bar Recreation area provides hunting, fishing and boating.  Hagar says people are finding work there and buying new homes in the $150,000 price range.

Having been on tour with The Roots around the entire continental U.S. I can say with certainty that The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington is truly one of our country’s most breath-taking venues. Last Saturday The Roots visited this somewhat majestic landscape once again for a killer show. Our friend Craig Gorkiewicz was there to capture The Roots performance. Check out some priceless shots including fantastic ?uesto expressions, Cap’n Kirk ‘s emotive guitar-solo grimace (+ watch him catch air on a jump), Black Thought ‘s swag, and Tuba Gooding Jr. ‘s giant cheeks.
