The annual taxes on this lavish Mercer Island estate are about equivalent to the average yearly household income in Seattle (around $40K). This mansion has everything necessary to properly live the decadent life: a wine cellar, movie theater, billiard room with a bar, and an outdoor space that’s an extension of the living space poolside with an outdoor fireplace to boot. Curiously, what seems like the perfect pad has one little problem, it’s just 2 doors down from I-90. It’s gorgeous but you’d think $9,750,000 would buy you some peace and quiet!

The least lavish property listed last week is a teeny weenie cabin way out in Gold Bar (that’s about an hour away from civilization). This 280 square foot Skykomish River front abode is really more of a “tent-substitute” for your Washington wilderness adventure. Camp-out luxuries include electric power, toilet, sink, and bear-proof walls.
It unfortunately doesn’t have running water or septic tank, because then it wouldn’t really be camping now would it?!
