The land is naturally elevated like that. Seattle is the opposite of flat. Large inclines like that in a small surface area are quite common. Level ground is what is rare in Seattle.

Something to check out the next time my family is there.<br /><br />Believe it or not, dig just about anywhere in Oregon and Washington and sooner or later you'll hit rock. lol Although some people do have boulders brought in for landscape effect, my guess is that in those neighborhoods the boulders were there during construction, and instead of being removed, were used as part of the landscape. <br /><br />I've never heard of the houses being 'built up' due to flooding (but yes, Seattle can get that much rain lol), but many homes in Portland OR are built up on grades just like that. <br /><br />I've never been a fan of pocket or wall gardens. Those made the rounds in the 1970s, and even as a kid I thought they were ugly. That said, if that's the only way a person has to grow a few veggies and flowers, and it's kept up, it can continue to look nice.

That don't get THAT much rain do they?

I can never get an answer about where they came from and/or why they're there. If the street is ground level, then all the houses are built way above grade. It just seems odd. <br /><br />My favorite restaurant is at gas works park, Elemental. An amazing place.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458284882406866310.post-90649135009772743552012-01-22T05:18:34.447-08:002012-01-22T05:18:34.447-08:00I read about Duisburg, perhaps in Landscape Archit...I read about Duisburg, perhaps in Landscape Architect magazine, and thought how cool it was and the nothing like that would ever be built in the states.

Weird trend but I have to admit they can look neat if well maintained. Not sure if I am a fan of the ones with pockets though.<br /><br />Neat tour. Seattle is a great gardening climate (even though it is way too rainy for me!) I really love those crayola looking townhouses.Kaveh Maguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415126992728047743noreply@blogger.com
