Seattle Suburbs Real Estate

Seattle Relocation - Focus on Lynnwood, WA

Moving to Seattle can be overwhelming!  Choosing a neighborhood or Seattle suburb is one of the many things that you will have to decide.  Seattle has so many great neighborhoods, but the suburbs are also nice for some of the wide open spaces they offer.

If you do make the decision to relocate to one of Seattle's suburbs, I would highly recommend a close in suburb because of its close proximity to Seattle, but also because it is a more central location for commuting North, South, and to the Eastside.  Lynnwood, WA is a good choice because of its huge array of amenities - shopping, recreation, parks, and two great park and rides which are always being improved.  Lynnwood is right on I-5 and also has easy access to I-405 for commuting in all directions.

Amorn Thai:  Mountlake Terrace should thank their lucky stars that this place moved in: WOW!!!!  This is one of the best Thai places I have had the pleasure of eating at and I amke it a regular now as a result.  I am spreading the word:  Amorn Thai is the bomb!  Check it out the next time you are passing thru - it is only about a mile off I-5 from the Mountlake Terrace 236th St Exit, take a left on 56th and Amorn Thai is on the left past Roger's Grocery.

Here's where it is:

(425) 712-9112

My recommendation:  Their Phad Thai is wonderful, their Thai tea is yummy.  Do not miss their spicy plum sauce.  It normally comes with the appetizer fried Tofu, but we order our spring rolls with it instead of the regular sauce.  Delish!

Lynnwood summer ending so soon?

Well, it looks like summer might be creeping off once again right when we feel like we finally got a little bit of heat - am I the only one here feeling this way?  Gardening is always a particular challenge for me with the shorter growing season here, but I also like to start things from seed.

Trying to keep them going...

I started my tomatoes from seed in January - I finally got one tomato last week and many more on the way..maybe.  Looking at all of the rain we have gotten lately makes me think I should wrap the tomatoes up to protect them from the early fall it seems we might get.  I have them in the warmest part of the yard and it might not be enough and I just can't bare another year of green tomatoes!!!

Anyone else?  What are you doing to make sure you get your juicy red tomatoes before the snow hits?

I noticed the guy down the street who has corn that towers over mine has his tomatoes all tucked into a clear plastic wrap - maybe that might help, but covering them from the rain has got to be vital, too...
