Excellent! I like both of those, and great pictures.
Flar, Issaquah Highlands is new urbanist on the edge of the metro. It probably has decent bus service by "edge of metro in US" standards.
High Point is a mixed-income replacement for old public housing (similar to a handful of others locally) in the West Seattle area within the city limits. Bus service should be pretty good though I doubt it has "trunk line" service (unless you walk to Admiral Junction). That part of town is very walkable though hilly.
I like the public housing redos. Others include New Holly and Rainier Vista in Seattle, Salishan in Tacoma, one in Bremerton, one in White Center...I'm forgetting some. They're generally around 1,000 units on 100 acres, which is significantly more housing than before (I like higher densities than that, but 16,000/sm isn't bad assuming 2.5 per unit). They always mix income levels, which is also new and very advantageous.
