Club 24 Fitness opening next week in West Richland
You may have received a postcard today announcing that Club 24 Express Fitness is now open at its West Richland location in Paradise Plaza near Yoke’s. But it’s actually not open yet.

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! What began as a way to climb out of the February doldrums turned into a year-long adventure that took me all over our great community! I hope you enjoyed trying to figure things out from a different perspective. I will still […]
- 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 […]
