You've got it lucky then. Sometimes I get like a 12 car pileup when one the kids leave the matchbox's in the hall and on the stairs.

OH THE HUMANITY!

Guys, I appreciate all of the responses.

The job I'm gunning for in Renton is making me look south of Renton, in the Kent-Auburn-Sumner-Puyallup-South Hill-Enumclaw area.

I'm just now starting to do some housing research in these areas, but are there some that you could tell me to stay clear of (ghetto, etc) or are favorable (low relative housing cost, nice area)?

Just for clarification, I probably won't be purchasing a house immediately - we'll probably rent one for a few months until we get situated with the area and financially.

BTW, are cars subject to smog inspections?
