Affordable living takes another hit as The Seattle Times reports that the median price for a single-family home in Seattle rose 19 percent last month to $535,000. That impressive gain is three times higher than for King County as a whole, where the median home price rose 6.1 percent. Eastside real estate is cool by comparison, with home prices inching up a mere 5.4 percent (to $632,554).
