Mukilteo McMansion madness

Where I come from, it is common for buildings such as a three-flat to have a high-quality facing brick on the facade, and a lower-quality structural brick on the sides.  In a row of city houses, the side walls are close to and facing other buildings, so it it customary to use a cheaper brick.

Little did I know that the same economics apply to the garish McMansions of Mukilteo!  Look at this Spanish sty:

No windows, no design elements, just sweet, sweet siding.  Clearly, these people have a great deal of money and taste.

Here's another one nearby.  Could this be a new, emergent school of architecture?  Could barren Seattle have found culture at last?

Why do homedebtors always have so many vehicles lying about?
