Google StreetView comes to Seattle

We spotted the truck this summer and now it’s here.

… and Bellevue and Tacoma and Renton and Edmonds. Even Carnation.

Google (and Estately) just flipped the switch on StreetView in Seattle. That means you can now quickly see every home for sale (often in it’s pre-prettified state) in context and you can pan up and down the block to see the neighboring homes and you can now answer the all-important “will I be looking out of my window at a crack house?” question. Or at least you can check to see if the house across the street looks like a crack house.

Take a look, click and grab to rotate, use the arrows to move up and down the street. Here is Google’s map of the area covered.

We have a lot to announce in the coming two weeks – keep your eyes peeled for more announcements.
