Beach Walk the Beach! Many approach walking as exercise, however there are still many who walk for their souls and their body tags along.

Gardening Secret Gardens in the San Juan Islands As you drive around the island, you may not think many islanders are into gardening.

Boating Opening Day of Boating Season! May brings us Opening Day of the Boating Season, but actually boating is pretty much a year round thing in the islands.

Knowing what you love should be fairly straightforward, but it seldom really is.  After decades of allowing other people to influence us – the […]
Birding Winter Birds in the Islands To many who live in the Northwest, Winter is synonymous with hibernation and dormancy.  Those who live in the islands tend to let Winter weave her wondrous spell.  The stunning ordinary in the simply overlooked. The San Juan Islands are fortunate to be blessed with a spectacular array of birds that only visit between Fall […]

Every relationship we have – with other people, with our work – reflects in some […]
Lifestyle Our Commute – Island Life Living Given that our team works all the islands in the San Juan archipelago, we are often on the inter-island ferry.  Sometimes when showing property on one of the outer islands, we pause to ponder just how extraordinary this commute really is, yet how very typical of island life.  We view this commute as a mini […]
