Update: They didn't choose the route that would go through our complex. I feel so defeated.
I'm going to try to be brief and I will DD.
On Thursday, the light rail people will decide which of the four proposed routes from the airport to Federal Way is the "preferred alternative." Several months ago, we got notice that one of the routes goes through our complex and they will do like an eminent domain thing and we will have to move. Oh darn it! (snaps finger)
As I have mentioned before, we are stuck in our condo. Technically the value has gone back up quite a bit and we aren't necessarily upside down. But there are still tons of condos in foreclosure and on short sale, so there is no chance we would be able to sell ours for what it's technically worth.
If they go through our complex, I'm going to consider that the mighty hand of the Lord and a miracle. It would just be amazing. I don't know if they have a front runner or anything like that, but we have a 25% chance.
I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for this. I know it's really insignificant to the things that most people ask for T&Ps, so if you roll your eyes and brush this off, I understand. I'm not trying to make my thing bigger than that by any means, but it would be nice to know that you guys are pulling for us.
I don't think that's an insignificant request. I'll pray about this with you! That would be really cool... You're definitely not the only one stuck in a condo these days and it would be amazing if you could get into a home that better suits your family's needs

Not a crazy thing to wish at all. We were practically stuck in our condo, and were sitting on top of a possible lawsuit with the makers of our heater (the entire association, not us personally). We were lucky to get out when we did. I hope you get what you're hoping for!
