anacortes real estate: The Snow is Almost Gone - 12/28/08 07:25 PM
After 3 weeks of snow we can see grass in Anacortes! It is very rare to get more than a skiff of snow in the beautiful seaside town, but this year we got a couple of feet of snow! Fidalgo Island does not have the equipment to deal with this type of snow, so the town was crippled.
The good news is that many Anacortew home owners shopped in Anacortes instead of going to the big city for Christmas shopping. Local retailers had a good year as evidenced by the empty shelves on Christmas eve. With this economy the boost was … (1 comments)

M
Most of today's blogs are about the weather in our area. Here are some great photos from Linda Harris, Anacortes real estate agent, showing off her Anacortes home covered in snow.
I love the fish garden which adds a lot of color in the winter and fits our seaside community. But they even look better in the snow!

anacortes real estate: Why pipe need to be insulated - 12/21/08 04:14 PM
For those of you that are in Washington state looking outside of your window frustrated with the storm...I offer these photos to remind you that someone is in worse shape that you. Here is a garage that had a pipe in the attic space that was not insulated.
One more reason to make sure that you hire a really good home inspector. There will be lots of leaking pipes in the next few days If your home is vacant make sure someone checks on it!

anacortes real estate: Don't Take Our Ferry Run! - 12/18/08 04:24 PM
The much loved ferry service between Anacortes and Sidney, B.C., will be eliminated under Gov. Christine Gregoire's new budget.
The Anacortes ferry to Sydney operates from early spring until the first week in January. This year over 113,000 passengers rode this ferry run, which brought lots of tourist dollars to both Anacortes and Sydney.
The Anacortes-Sydnay ferry run is scheduled to stop at the end of next summer. This is a huge disappointment and the ferry run will be missed!

anacortes real estate: Goodbye Enchantress - 12/17/08 12:55 PM
The Enchantress was a tugboat that was abandoned several years ago in Anacortes. After much debate it was decided that it would be removed, and it turned out to be quite a process.
Global Diving & Salvage removed the engine block from the water last week. Part of the keel was attached to it and was estimated that the weight could have been as high as 200 tons! It took the larges barge-mounted crane on the West Coast to do the job!
The company's crews were working for the Port of Anacortes and the Washington State Department of Ecology.

anacortes real estate: Orcas Ferry Schedule - 12/14/08 02:43 PM
The power outage on Orcas Island has disrupted ferry service. The biggest issue is that it is taking longer to load and unload. Also the high winds are slowing the boat travel a bit so just plan on a wait. But sitting at the terminal watching this beautiful winter storm is fun in itself!
Stock up on batteries now. Be careful of using candles!!! Get your wood supply close to the house, and cover it up as snow is fore-casted for tonight. We don't expect much, but you never know.
It's a good time to snuggle by the fire, play … (0 comments)

anacortes real estate: Washington State Ferries - Anacortes, WA to San Juan Islands - 12/13/08 02:44 PM
We are having a winter storm with worse weather to come. The high winds have caused a power outage on Orcas Island so it has caused some interruptions in the ferry schedule. You can expect power outages throughout the islands for the next couple of days if these high winds continue.

Get your wood supply close to the house, and cover it up in case we do get snow.
We get a few bad windstorms a year, but they say these is going to be a biggy!

anacortes real estate: Don't forget Landscaping! - 12/08/08 11:43 PM
Does Landscaping Add Value?
Landscaping will make your home easier to sell, but how much value it actually adds to your Anacortes home varies. What is important to realize is that prospective buyers see your home on line and then often drive by. That means that the front always has to be kept free of weeds. There should always be pots and blooming plants in the yard to add color and warmth. Lawns must be fertilized, watered and kept green and mowed.
Well-manicured landscaping helps frame other elements of curb appeal. It is considered a value-added feature because it helps … (0 comments)
