Does a bear… oh, that, too. Yup. Looks like he does.

YIKES! I looked at the rest of the listing and the bear pics are the best of the bunch!
Stephen Colbert would call this the scariest Real Estate listing ever.
OK its time for “5 perfectly normal explanations for what happened”
1. Local sculptor trying to show his conceptual art trade to wayfarers. title : “bears wondering where all the big trees went”, wood, three elements, various sizes, 1992, est. 3400-4000 $
2. Multiple bear shaped hitching post collecting syndrome, it can happen to you.
3. A hand made coded advertisement for a secret rural Gay Bear outlet.
4. The bears are actually the decorative tops of WWII submarine periscopes the owner exposes in an underground hall. He’s been collecting hand-made traditional Swedish submarines for over fifty years now. Yes they are rare.
5. Camouflaged sprinkler system. The faucet is hidden in a wood bee-hive.
Hee — That’s a great game. Unfortunately, I can’t come up with anything!
Is that the way the toilet paper commercials bears got their start?
ugh…those commercials! can you imagine the brainstorming session
that gave birth to the idea of running a national ad campaign based on
“if a bear sh*ts in the woods, what does he wipe with?” just UGH.
This house is just a few blocks from where I live. In Bellevue it practically takes a motion from city hall to cut down a tree. I think these folks cut the trees down at night and had a chain saw “arteeest” come in to hide the evidence. Let me just say, they are uglier in person. These pictures do them justice.
Did the bears perhaps decorate the interior? There are some color choices in there that definitely have a Big Blue House thing going.
Also, ratio of bear pictures to house pictures appears to be 3:1 …yeah, potential buyers are gonna flock with that kind of pictorial highlighting.
Goldilocks. Tigger. Forest Rangers.
Sheesh! They could have held it until they got to Jellystone Park, but noooooo…!
The key to success in this real estate market is to make strong, personal, taste-specific choices, and then to stick you fingers in your ears and shout LA LA LA LA LA whenever anyone tries to tell you differently. Remember, you’re not looking for all the buyers, just that one special buyer who has exactly the same tastes as you do.
Oh, and ask way more than your house is worth and don’t negotiate. The right buyer will respect your integrity.
Actually… I really like chainsaw bears. But I recognize that they don’t have a universal appeal.
I have to wonder whether the artist intended for them to all look like they had to use the bathroom really, really badly, or whether that’s just one of those happy “accidents” brought on by the muses. These would go perfectly with my extensive collection of excreting wildlife.
The problem is that they are sooooooo tall!
Well, maybe that’s not the only problem.
“Was an Adult Family Home for 7 years. Seller is willing to leave a starter package of furniture & supplies to help Buyer get started with an Adult Family home business.”
Um, was this a porn house?
I think that’s code for nursing home? But maybe its a half-way house????
I googled it and it is code for “nursing home”

Adult Family Home Locator
This page was designed to help you search for licensed adult family homes by geographic location and/or specialty features.
Yeah, really … what the heck is an “adult family home”?
The bears all seem to be looking for the Lions! and Tigers!
Oh my!
I’m glad the greenery is strategically placed in some of the photos. Makes this a family-friendly site.
Maybe the bears were attracted by the salmon-colored walls inside.
Salmon walls…green carpet…African masks…GAAAAHHHH!!!!!! *sobs*
apparently the agent saw too any of those “northwest profile” commercials from allstate and assumed that meant there was actually a niche market of Roadside Chainsaw Artists out there that would be rushing the listing…
I think I might buy this one.
