What's going on in Washington State?
Housing supply is going absolutely vertical.
And just broke 29,000 listings in August 2026.
That's up 128% in the last three years. And the highest level for August back to 2017.
Homeowners are fleeing Washington State in droves, and tech layoffs are surging.
The locals who want to stay are priced out of the market, with the typical home costing $591,000.
This is a nasty combination for home values, which are already declining.
Washington ranks our biggest 'downward forecast' state in 2027.

WATCH: A Porsche suddenly goes airborne, somersaulting through the air before violently slamming into a fence at California's Laguna Seca Raceway.
Driver Manuel Gil del Real reportedly loses control of the brakes before the terrifying crash during Saturday morning's race.
Porsche Motorsport North America says Gil del Real is awake after being airlifted to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
“Imagine a demonic manifestation. This had EVERYTHING.”
The media is leaving out major details about the insane viral video of a man who was duct-taped to his American Airlines seat, @Jonathan_Cahn tells me. He was the "unnamed passenger" sitting right next to him:
“I get on the plane… the guy is to my left, friendliest guy in the world… For two hours the flight attendants thought we were best friends.
Then I said, 'God, give me a chance to share Your love with him, Your salvation with him.' He says, 'Well, I rejected that. I knew that as a kid. I rejected that…' This is what caused the whole story. He says, ‘How do you know God is real?'
That moment. I don't know, I've never seen anything like this in my life. It was like his face changes, his voice changes, and all of a sudden he whispers… 'Bullsh*t.'
And then he goes off. He's cursing God. He's cursing Jesus. It's blasphemy on the airplane. They didn't put that in the articles. In fact, one of them said he was talking about Jesus like he was a Christian, and he was a hateful Christian… Then he stands up, and he goes to the people in front and says, 'Do you believe in Jesus? And then he starts talking about hell… I'm not saying where the guy is, but it's like you're watching a demonic manifestation”
I turn 50 today. This is a message to my kids but I offer it to you in case any of it rings useful.
I was born in Sri Lanka in 1976 in a country that, at the time, was about to enter a decades long civil war. My father was able to get stationed at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canada for four years in the early 80s - when some of the fighting was most severe - and which from our vantage point in Canada gave us some respite from an otherwise omnipresent conflict.
He came as a diplomat but then my father filed for refugee status after four years when his life was threatened by militants. We stayed in Canada as refugees. My dad never really landed on his feet and we grew up on welfare.
My mom stepped up. She did an incredible thing and put our family on her back and kept marching forward. Sometimes the steps were very small but she always tried to keep moving forward.
I worked at Burger King starting at 14, giving my paycheck to my mom and dad to support our family in the role that I was assigned - earn enough to pay for our bus passes because we couldn’t afford a car.
I was a loser growing up. Some friends, some good memories but mostly forgettable and lonely. I wasn’t very studious but did get my act together in my final year and got into a great university.
I immigrated to the US soon after graduating and found an opportunity. Things clicked and I have been traveling a path to find myself ever since. Only in America is this possible…
I worked hard, followed the rules, paid my taxes and stayed in California out of loyalty for the opportunities it has given me despite its dysfunction.
I found my wife here. Had my kids here. Found my tribe here.
There have been some very hard times as well - deaths, divorce, financial pain, mistakes of omission and mistakes of commission. You can’t dwell on these things - they are weights that will pull you down if you’re not careful. Learn from them. Respect them. BUT MOVE ON.
To think 50 years ago I could have ever gotten a chance to meet the people I’ve met and have had the experiences I’ve had would have been mind boggling to my parents. It’s mind boggling to me now.
We forget often and try to convince others it’s not true but America truly is the best country in the world. Everything and anything is possible here. I can testify. Be grateful to be here.
This is the only place that gives EVERYONE a chance to live a great adventure. The first 50 years have been that for me - an incredible adventure.
Notice there is nothing here about accomplishments or money. Because it doesn’t matter and it won’t matter.
You will be dust in less than 100 years from now and the decision to be remembered won’t be yours so stop sweating it. It’s not in your control.
So what is in your control?
Be kind. Have fun. Work on something meaningful to you. Find your tribe. Try to find perspective. Find an incredible partner. Have a bunch of kids. Live an adventure. Forgive your parents - they were doing the best they could even if that wasn’t what you deserved.
I will do what I can to make my next 50 years a wild ride.
You should too.
I love you and thank you. ❤️

These twin sisters, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born prematurely at just 28 weeks.
Both were extremely small and fragile.
Kyrie grew stronger, Brielle's condition worsened — she reportedly turned blue and had an irregular heartbeat.
Doctors feared she wouldn't survive, so a nurse took an unconventional approach for the time and placed both twins in the same incubator.
Once they were together, Brielle's breathing improved, her heartbeat stabilized, and her color returned.
Love is the greatest medicine.

PRINCIPAL FORCED TO RESIGN AFTER HELPING A HOMELESS STUDENT
Rob Burnside, the former principal of Lakota East High (@EAST_HAWKS) in Ohio, was REMOVED from his position after he housed a 16-year-old homeless student so he could keep attending school.
The teen’s home life was unstable, and he was forced to sleep in a car. His dad’s trailer didn’t have heat, and his mom moved outside the district.
When Rob found out, he took the boy into his home so he could continue attending school.
When the school found out, they threatened Rob with termination.
The student offered to leave the school and his home to protect Rob's job, but Rob REFUSED.
Rob decided NOT to cave to the school's threats, and sacrificed his career to continue supporting Hayes.
Rob and his wife are now Hayes' legal guardians.
Rob and his wife have 6 other children, including 2 adopted ones.
The boy has since graduated and is now working toward becoming an aviation mechanic.
