All winter I have driven by the Edgewood Fruit Stand. And every time I drove by I would notice that their sign said "See you in the Spring". I was starting to get worried that perhaps it wasn't going to reopen. Especially since Sterino's closed. But then today, as I drove past, I noticed that the sign had been updated! It now says "Open May 16th." Yeah. And they will have some free giveaways. This is a great local fruit stand that features local farm grown fruits and vegetables. I'm looking forward to the fresh Pink Lady apples, strawberries, blueberries, corn, and squash. The fruit stand is located on Meridian Avenue across the street from the Edgewood Flower Farm. Be sure to stop by to support this local business. 05/08/2009

Edgewood Flower Farm is now open! But you'd better hurry- if you didn't pre-order, quantities are limited. They are open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9:30am to 5:00pm.  This farm, that has been open in Edgewood, WA since 1954, has the most gorgeous flower baskets! They are colorful, huge, healthy and have well thought out flower mixes. They have double begonias, impatiens, supertunias, and many more. For more information, including directions to Edgewood and pricing, visit their website. It is www.edgewoodflowerfarm.com. But I recommend seeing them in person. :) 05/08/2009

Several builders with inventory in the City of Edgewood have many homes still on the market that have been completed for over a year.  Buyers should be aware that if at all possible, Builders must receive a price very very close to their "asking" or "listing" price.  This is important, allowing them to maintain their financial borrowing power ... keeping them in business and helping appreciation of property values for your new home.I've recently received notices of $30,000 Buyer incentives that Buyers may spend in any way that is allowed by the lender.  Usually this may be applied to closing costs, loan points, or upgrades to the home.  This equates to about a 5% price reduction that does not reflect on the contracted sales price.When negotiating the purchase of a new home, consider ask... 09/04/2007
