From Our Corner of the World | October 2025 Edition

We’ve been spending a lot of time driving over to Shelton to help get Brien’s step-mom Bev settled into a park-model RV on his sister Cheryl’s property. Brien and Cheryl built a nice deck for her one weekend, while I spent some quality time with her parrot.

The next weekend, we assembled an ADA ramp, and the following week, we worked on moving all her stuff into her new storage shed. Now, we are working on clearing out the house, cleaning up the yard, completing repairs and getting the home staged to sell. Lucy had some big adventures in Shelton! (see below).

We also celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary on September 24th with a lovely dinner at Cob + Cork in Bow, WA which features farm-to-table cuisine. Everything is so fresh, with exquisite presentation and flavor combinations! It has become our favorite go-to spot for celebrations.

I’ve been super busy with three new listings this month and two more in process for next month. Usually, September and October are great months to list a home, but this year, the market has been a bit off. We have experienced a slow start on all three listings and other brokers have confirmed the same thing happening with their listings also. We are hopeful that things will pick up soon.
