New Law Makes West Richland $15k Richer
Did you know? If you go to Spokane and purchase an HDTV, and have it delivered to your home in West Richland, the sales tax you pay goes to West Richland, not to Spokane. How freakin’ cool is that?!? Seems to me that for a smaller city like ours, where retail shopping opportunities are less [...]

Two seemingly disparate facts tell the 2011 Tri-Cities real estate story. #1 – Total sales for the year – 2,734, which is the second lowest total within the last ten years. (The lowest […]
- Final Friday Photo January 27, 2012I can’t believe it – I’ve been posting Friday Photos for a year now!

- Building Our New Home, Part 8 January 23, 2012My husband, Matt, and I are building our new home. This is the eighth in a series of who-knows-how-many. I’m writing from the perspective of a buyer, and an agent, since I am both in this case. We had two important walk-throughs last week and the week before. On the 11th, we met with the […]
