White Center is the new Ballard

Seattle Weekly's Knute Berger wrote about Seattle's shifting real estate market. This paragraph captures it all:

My partner and I were out to dinner with two real-estate-agent friends, and one
half-jokingly said that "White Center is the new Ballard." Apparently, Shoreline
used to be the new Ballard, until it got pricey. So first-time single-family
home buyers have to go farther afield. It left me wondering: If the old
square-head Ballard is gone, and the new affordable Ballard has moved south,
what is the current Ballard? The new Laurelhurst?
