I don't imagine they make too much on the berries. I think it's easier for them to do it U-pick. That way they don't have to deal with newer child labor regulations. My mother grew up in Oly and kids would regularly make a little summer money by picking berries. Not sure if that's legal now.
600 could easily be right in there. It largely depends on the buildings and if there is other value for the property. I've been looking at some places in Enumclaw with about the same amount of property and the value ranges from a below 600, to a lot above, but all depends on the buildings.

Didn’t think about the laws related to children picking berries. What irony! Guess it’s easier to make a U pick or bring in folks from south of the border than to take a chance at cheezing off CPS and/or the folks at L&I.
