Below 100 feet, but I regularly cross into the next category less than a mile away.

The first one doesn't make sense. How can you live below and above sea level?

But, anyway, I think Ellensburg is about at sea level.

below 100 ft in elevation. So if you live at 35 feet above or 20 feet below.

It's about 1500.

I'm at about 1000.

According to the engineering drawing for my street, the road centreline in front of my house is 314.3 m (1031 ft) elevation.

Funny enough, I was thinking about this on my Utah ski trip. The engineering plans out there (being in ft) would reach the 10 000's if your project was in the mountains (ex: a ski lift construction). Meanwhile all my projects are in the low 300's metres.

About 585 feet above sea level. About 8 feet higher than the elevation of both Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Max Rockatansky

About 200 feet above sea level.

As silly a question it is, I had no idea I lived at 725 feet.

My home town is at 1,371 feet ASL, but I regularly drive down to an elevation of 633 feet just 8  miles away as the crow flies. Only sometimes do I notice my ears popping on the way home, but when I do, it's usually in the same location.

I believe that I am very slightly above 725 ASL.

If you are unsure, a gps app can give you the number.
191' at chest level for me

US 89

Per my GPS app, I'm at a nice 130 feet above sea level.

I'm originally from a place where any four-digit elevation in feet starting with a 4 was considered "low", so this is all still a bit foreign to me...

I'm already high enough as is (being in Colorado and such) but I am ~30 feet below 5K above sea level.

Bruce

I'm around 100 feet, being separated from the nearest body of saltwater by some 600 foot hills.

Ellensburg is at over 1500 feet. The Columbia Plateau is obviously not at sea level.

Based on topo maps and my guesstimate since development, I am sitting at between 695 and 700 feet ASL.

My grandparents' house was at exactly 1,000 feet, which I learned sadly long after they had passed.
