  From 40th to 80th between Greenlake and I-5 Freeway is one of the most desirable locations in the Seattle area. This area is full of homes with a high walkscore, near Greenlake which is a fantastic place to walk, bike, take your dog. And just around the corner you can find the Mighty O Donut shop, with organic whole grain, mighty delicious donuts full of vitamin "D" (for donut). Flavors like Peanut Butter and Jelly, French Toast, and don't forget the mini donuts and the donut holes! Our friends The Hayburners  turned us on to them. Thanks Dave and Jennifer! (They are some of our good musical friends--as in good music AND good friends!) Also take a look in the Meridian Market--it's a nice neighborhood market with some upscale selections along with basics for quick pick up. Homes in this area range from $324,900 to $1,100,000. Many are new construction, and there are also turn of the century Craftsmans, townhomes, mid century homes as well as modern built green homes. Currently there are 51 residential listings and 5 condo listings from $225,000 to $435,000. Ask us for a current list, no problem!

I can report three gorgeous sunny days in a row and everyone saying winter has turned the corner...I even drove down to Richmond Beach yesterday after a showing and just sat on a driftwood log for an hour staring at the waves and watching people walking, running with their dogs, building things with driftwood and stones, and of course taking pictures of each other doing it...since it is Puget Sound, and not really the Pacific, the breakers don't get as big as they do out around the actual ocean shores, but it is still the Pacific Northwest. That means when you are staring out where the sun is going down over the water, you know that past the snowcapped Olympics standing up seemingly out of the waves to the west, is nothing for a very long time, and then ... the Far East. It really does feel like the edge of the world. Also, regrettably I am now 5 pounds fatter than I hoped to be going into spring, which is the fault of my daughter who gave me a huge box of the loveliest truffles I've ever had for Valentine's Day! (Thank you, dear Mia!) In Seattle when this happens, the traditional thing is to call up all your friends and make numerous dates to walk around Green Lake, both catching up with all the important people in your life and shedding the five pounds in a couple of weeks. As long as I stay away from the truffles. Edy Kizaki, Realtor Labels: Green Lake, Olympics, Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound, Richmond Beach
