Welcome to My Backyard Cottage Blog
Hi, I'm Alex! I'm documenting my journey of building a Backyard Cottage from the ground up. Join me as I navigate permits, construction, and everything in between.
About Me!
My name is Alex Lee, and I am a senior in high school living in Bellevue Washington. I'm an avid runner and I run cross country and track for my school. I love watching Seattle sports and I'm a huge Mariners and Seahawks fan. In my free time, I enjoy fishing and hanging out with my friends.
Over the last year, I've developed significant interest in real estate and economics, and I hope to attend a business program in college. I have experience interning at a real estate company and I currently work at a bakery for fun.
I am passionate about creating housing affordability in Seattle and I'm excited to go through the process of building a unit of affordable housing from the ground up!
