For those who don't live here, Denny is normally a relatively highly trafficked site.

The buses had been towed away last night. The west end of East Thomas was vigorously sanded to give the trucks traction, and a temporary guardrail installed. Thank god for the days of plentiful rebar.
This bus and another took a hilly side street since Denny was closed . The other bus (not visible in this picture) apparently pushed this bus all the way down the side street. Had the bus not stopped in time, it would have fallen 30 feet onto I-5.
All this happened one block from my apartment. Picture is taken from my cell phone.

This is a very interesting loan product from BECU and has the potential of being one of the best 1st time mortgages for buyers that qualify.
It is called the "Helper" (HLPR) loan. Basically, it's aimed at 1st time buyers buying their first home, but it should also be useful for people who have already sold their homes and are looking for another.
There are income restrictions, credit restrictions and other guidelines, but this particular HLPR product (there are several others, see BECU's site) purports to have an ARM rate that is about 1% lower than the "going" rate. Based on my experience, their fees are also lower than most of the major banks.
This type of loan is great for someone that is looking at short-term ownership of a property. I spoke with several industry pros and they all believe that BECU is probably not making any money - perhaps even losing money - on this loan, but may be using it to bring borrowers into other BECU products that may be profitable.
BECU has had a reputation of being difficult to work with in the past and very slow to respond. It seems that now, though, they've cleaned up their act. They've got 24-hour mortgage reps and a lot of the process has been stream-lined and placed online. This loan is not for everyone, though, and it may not apply to every purchase. In particular, borrowers may have difficulty obtaining loans on new or conversion condos that are not FNMA approved. I spoke with several BECU reps and their answers were all over the board about this.
