 Within Seattle city limits, the median home price last month was $957,000. The city of Lakewood says it will condemn a derelict property if the owner doesn't allow the city to buy it and turn it into a park. The city council unanimously approved an ordinance to condemn what's left of a former strip mall in the 9300 block of Bridgeport Way. According to the Tacoma News Tribune, the city has offered $1.3 million for the land, which is reportedly its fair market value.
