The Seattle Times reports on a couple who are being evicted from their house because the house is too small.
Alan Hord and Sharon Adams celebrated their third wedding anniversary yesterday by being evicted.
The couple were forced out of their 2,000-square-foot home south of Monroe because it didn’t meet the standards set by their tiny neighborhood association. The problem: The house isn’t big enough.
Hord bought the 5-acre property with a view of Mount Rainier about six years ago for $415,000. He moved into a home that had been converted from a barn.
But at 2,000 square feet, the barn off 238th Place Southeast didn’t satisfy the Mountain View Country Estates Homeowners Association’s rules. All homes must be at least 3,000 square feet.
