kitsaplife: "Congrats, TR & Arwen!" - 1st Time Home Buyers on the Kitsap Peninsula WA - 11/05/07 06:20 PM
There was great cause for celebration here last week on the Kitsap County Peninsula in scenic Washington State! 1st Time Home Buyers, TR & Arwen, closed on their home in Port Orchard! This was one of the most fun and rewarding transactions I've had the privilege of being involved in for quite some time! TR & Arwen came over from Hawaii, under orders courtesy of the U.S. Navy. TR just recently made Chief Petty Officer, so it's been a very eventful month for both of them! To read more about the home-buying adventures of TR & Arwen, go to SOUNDBITEBLOG. ~ … (20 comments)
kitsaplife: "When the Going gets Tough, Sellers get Going!" - Today's Sellers in Kitsap County WA - 11/01/07 12:40 PM
These are very challenging times for Home Sellers, not only here on the Kitsap Peninsula in scenic Washington State, but in housing markets throughout the country. Inventory levels of available homes are at an all-time high. Many homes have been languishing on the market for what seems like an eternity, with little or no activity. Mortgage loan underwriters have tightened their requirements, making it much more difficult for hopeful buyers to qualify. And with all the global uncertainties, from the war in Iraq, to the price of crude oil, consumer confidence is faltering, keeping many potential buyers sitting on the fence. Tough times demand that tough questions be asked, and tough actions be taken. … (3 comments)
kitsaplife: "Late Crabbing Season Re-Opens!" - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula - 10/29/07 11:34 AM
The Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife recently announced that 5 areas of the Puget Sound will reopen to recreational crab fishing. This is welcome news to those of us here in Kitsap County who drop our crab pots out on Hood Canal. This past couple of Summer seasons have been rather disappointing, to say the least. So this reopening affords us a few more opportunities to feed our freezers! Starting at sunrise November 1st, Marine Area 6 (eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca), Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet), Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton), Area 11 (Tacoma/Vashon), and Area 12 (Hood Canal) will all reopen for sport crabbing. Unlike … (6 comments)
kitsaplife: "Razor Clammin' on Copalis Beach WA" - Life in scenic Washington State - 10/29/07 11:17 AM
This past Saturday, my oldest son, Ben, and I drove out to the Washington Coast for the first official Razor Clam dig of the 2007 Fall Season. It takes us about 2 1/2 hours to drive out on Hwy. 3 through Shelton, past Aberdeen & Hoquiam, and then on up to Copalis Beach. Four area beaches were opened to harvesting, including Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks. I prefer Copalis because you can drive your vehicle right onto the beach, park it, and walk a short distance down to the surf. To learn more about Razor Clamming on the Washington State coast, … (2 comments)
kitsaplife: "Move Over, Top Chef!" - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA - 10/23/07 02:10 PM
Tonight I have the pleasure of cooking dinner for some friends of ours. Every Tuesday evening we hook-up with two other couples, share a crust of bread, and just hang-out & relax. It's quickly become one of the highlights of our week! Dr. Dan is a local Family Practice Physician here in Silverdale WA. I could easily pass for his twin. When we first moved here, people kept coming up to me and started sharing their physical maladies. Then, about 2 or 3 minutes into the conversation, they'd realize, "Hey! You're not Dr. Dan!" His lovely wife, Debbie, is the consumate host, and has been … (27 comments)
kitsaplife: The New "Olympic View Marina" in Seabeck - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA - 10/18/07 03:34 PM
As an avid recreational boater out on the Kitsap Peninsula, I am thrilled about the new "Olympic View Marina" development project out in Seabeck WA. While there are a number of really excellent marina resources on the eastern half of the Kitsap Peninsula, the former Seabeck Marina was the only one on the Hood Canal side. Unfortunately, that facility was closed and condemned as unsafe a couple years ago, leaving boaters with no place to moor or gas up. Since I almost exclusively launch and operate my boat over on Hood Canal, the prospect of having a new, improved marina in Seabeck was … (2 comments)

kitsaplife: Leaving My Wife for a Crab - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA - 09/02/07 01:20 PM
Yes, it's true. I can't deny it. I love crabs. And not just any ole' crabs, mind you. But Dungeness Crabs. The delicious 'mouth-watering' variety that is plentiful here in the scenic Pacific Northwest. When the crabbing season rolls around here on the Puget Sound WA, you can typically find me out cruising the deep, clear waters of Hood Canal in my trusty C-Dory, in search of the illusive 'Dungie.' But the question I have to ask myself is this, "Would I ever leave my wife for a Crab?" To find out the answer to this puzzling question, go to Crabbing in … (38 comments)

Okay, so you've outgrown your current home. The new arrival turned out to be 'twins,' your husband's mother decided to stay a little bit longer than you had anticipated to help out, and you haven't parked your car in the garage for years! That 'spacious' rambler you bought as newlyweds is literally 'busting' at the seams! So what's the best strategy for buying your next home? Is it better to put your house on the market first, get it under contract with a qualified Buyer, and then find your new home?
