It may not be a legitimate Seattle-area suburb (or, you know, a city in this country at all), but Vancouver, B.C. is near and dear to the hearts of many a PNW'er -- which is why China buying up all the real estate in the city might be of interest to people in the market. Apparently the moderate climate, sweet school system, and easy immigration procedures make the place super appealing as a spot to vacation and eventually move, so brokers are literally working around the clock to secure listings for the huge influx of interest.
