When I was eleven, I was boarding my Anglo-Arabian in Woodinville, WA, where a few other Seattle families were boarding their horses. Another young woman, Leslie Coey, was boarding her big, black Morgan/Tennessee Walker mare, Shawnee, in the same pastures. Shaunee didn't have the fanciest head, but she was short backed, had a long croup, deep chest, marvelous shoulder, and truly excellent legs. The hills around Woodinville were our "outback", and we rode over those hills with the glee of youth until I went to college, and life separated us. Leslie kept in touch over the years, sending us annual Christmas cards featuring Shawnee, with her several Appaloosa pasture mates, and famous barn cats. The pasture and barn were sold, and turned into the home of the Foremost plant. The nearby trail... 06/12/2012

Woodinville Country Homes – Getting Back To Nature  When you’re deciding to settle down in a home you might want to think about Woodinville country homes for your kids. Inactivity has obviously had a huge impact on childhood obesity. With children today being deprived of the space and land of the country, many children find themselves stuck on the couch with laptops and iPhones. In the city, it is really unfortunate to have to say that it is not really safe anymore for children to be playing outside without constant supervision. Accidents can occur in the country as well, however, and despite the obvious reasons for monitoring your child in the city, your kids should still be closely watched no matter where they may be. There are many benefits to buying Woodinville country homes; the be... 05/07/2012

Everyone has an opinion on real estate.  Generally they are wrong.  This is because there is no right answer.  Every market, as you know, is different.  So when an agent or the “media” speaks to real estate trends or market recovery you have to take it with a big grain of salt.  As a real estate agent and appraiser I get to see market information from both the buyer/seller’s side and from the prospective of the lender.  I am going to share with you a little bit about how the bank reviews market data in order to help them make lending decisions on a property.  A couple interesting points on this before we start:  lenders don’t check with real estate agents before they approve a loan on a house, lenders don’t check with the local media before they approve a loan, lenders are required to g... 05/04/2012

How NOT to Move in Woodinville, Washington.  My friend, Caroline, shared with me the true story of her most recent move.  I just had to pass it on; it’s hilarious!My story of how NOT to move:1.    Decide when you’re 8 months pregnant that your house really isn’t big enough for a new baby and you must move.2.    Walk around in circles in stunned disbelief that your offer price was accepted, your house is sold, and you really are moving.3.    Do this walking around in circles for at least a week.  Picking up items, wondering if you should pack them, and then putting them down in random places.4.    Come to terms with the reality of moving, and begin slowly packing things you haven’t used in years and probably don’t need.5.    Alternate with your husband aimlessly walking around the house ... 01/25/2012
