Mobile homes have a pretty bum rap these days, but would you like to live in one to save some money on your living situation? I know that there are a few mobile home parks in some nice neighborhoods in Portland. Most of the parks in Seattle (if not all) have been shooed away. Let’s bring the home back into the mobile home…
