puyallup community: Coffee Drinkers in Puyallup get 2 for 1 at Drive Through Forzas - 09/13/08 03:08 AM
Forza's Coffee opened a new location this month on the South Hill of Puyallup. It's just a little drive through stand, but in a great location for those morning commuters that need that cup of Jo!
Manager, Bryan Reynolds, takes great pride in operating a quality coffee shop. In two years of Forza's presence in downtown Puyallup, under his direction, it has become a regular stop for students and business professionals.

Awaiting you at both locations is always a friendly face with a smile and plenty of choices for your caffeine fix or appetite.

puyallup community: Puyallup Real Estate Market Update 7/14/08-7/21/08 - 07/21/08 04:45 PM
The third week of July in the Puyallup Real Estate market can be marked by steady consistency. Pending sales rose for the third consecutive week, which is a sign more buyers are out there and more are making offers on homes.
Sold listings remained the same from week 2 to week 3 of July in Puyallup. More homes were on the market in Week 3 of July as well. With more homes on the market and the same number of solds, it appears the Puyallup real estate market is moving slightly in the buyers direction this week. The increase in pending sales is … (0 comments)

puyallup community: Puyallup Real Estate Update 7/7/08 - 7/14/08 - 07/14/08 01:40 PM
Puyallup residential real estate pending sales were up from the previous week, which is a sign the real estate market in Puyallup is making the turn towards a sellers market, however it has a long climb to get there.
Buyers still have a significant advantage when purchasing in Puyallup. Oftentimes, sellers are paying the closing costs for buyers as an incentive to get a buyer to make the purchase. Some sellers are even providing downpayment assistance, in an FHA program such as Nehemiah or the Grant America Program. Several other grant programs are FHA and HUD approved and can be found on the … (1 comments)

puyallup community: Hands Free Driving - Watch this video and laugh - 07/14/08 02:45 AM
This new Hands Free Driving law has got me all worked up. So hard to remember my keys and wallet, let alone my cell phone and now my bluetooth.
Last week I wrote a blog on the new LAW - Hands Free Driving, but I gotta hand it to Trey Affolter who posted a blog titled, Pssst...Hands-Free Law now in effect. In it, there is a link to this You Tube video that you just gotta see.

I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and just had to share with my readers too. Thank you, Trey for the … (3 comments)

Looking for convenience on Puyallup's South Hill could not be easier than a quick drive into Pit Stop Express.

puyallup community: Puyallup Park Reviews - Bradley Lake + Contest - 07/11/08 02:00 AM
A month ago, my kids and I set out to review parks in Puyallup for all those kids out there that like to play and for parents who like to find a place to take their kids.
We started with a review of Rainier Woods Park, also known as Picture Park, as my kids call it.

Bradley Lake Park - soon to open the new and improved play area. According to my new friend, Matt, who I met at Peach Park, the new Bradley Lake Play Area will be one of only three parks in all of Washington State that is … (0 comments)

puyallup community: Hands Free Driving - 07/09/08 01:33 AM
In Washington State a new law went into affect on July 1st, requiring drivers talking on cell phones to be hands free. The new law is meant to make the roads safer for all drivers and I suppose it is a good law to keep people focused on the road.
What I have experienced in the past week is some difficulty making the adjustment. First, I found a bluetooth that I thought would work for me, which took time to research and money to buy.
I decided on the Plantronics  model for a cost of about $60.
After finding the one … (2 comments)

puyallup community: Puyallup Residential Market Report - June 2008 - 07/01/08 01:04 PM
June 2008
The Puyallup Residential real estate market is showing signs of change. Buyers are still experiencing the edge when it comes to purchasing a home, but there are indications that change is on the way. There were fewer active listings in June as compared to May and there was a significant increase in the amount of pending sales.
With pending sales at the highest level of 2008 and the number of active listings on the decrease, it appears we are heading towards a shift in the market. When there are fewer homes available and more buyers purchasing you can expect … (0 comments)

puyallup community: Puyallup Relay for Life - 06/24/08 10:57 PM
What a perfect day to celebrate life in Puyallup at the Relay for Life event at Emerald Ridge High School. Hundreds showed up on Friday night to honor survivors, support the families affected by cancer, and walk for a cure. With Mt. Rainier standing in the distance, it was a reminder of the power of healing and the beauty of survival.

Cancer Survivors (dressed in purple) were honored to begin the event before lining up for the survivor lap.
  
Following the survivor's lap, hundreds lined up to Relay for Life.

puyallup community: Simplicity of Life - 06/24/08 10:14 PM
While driving home from the office today I saw some young entrepreneurs on the side of the road. The simplicity of life captured my attention and I just had to stop. After passing over the money, I enjoyed my cup of lemonade and a cookie. How a simple thing like a lemonade stand can make time stop for a moment just to enjoy!
 

This is not the exact stand I saw, but a good representation of the simplicity of life.

Puyallup Park Review
Rainier Woods Park

 
Rainier Woods is tucked away in a neighborhood just off 23rd and Shaw Road. My kids love this park, they call it picture park because it is the first park we took great pictures of the kids playing at the park.
What they look forward to most are the see-saw and the swings:
                
 
The area is usually pretty quiet in the mornings, but seems to be active in the evenings when little league baseball and softball takes over the fields.
Oftentimes, Taylor and Tanner like to race to the fence, … (0 comments)

puyallup community: Construction on 94th in Puyallup - 06/13/08 12:51 AM
Can you believe how quickly the county has changed the layout of 94th in Puyallup? While widening the road many homeowners and business owners are seeing their property disappear. Even a church looks to be part of the new road as crews smooth the dirt within inches of the building.
Drivers beware of long backups on 94th as the project continues, then connects with the city's portion of the project at 117th.
We'll see if the project pays off to divert traffic from Meridian and provide an alternate route to the deep South Hill and Graham.
