Not everyone wants a Sun-day every day! 

Now, you might have taken this differently, but I am actually talking about those people who don't want to live in "sun" every single day of their lives. And that's why they call me from Arizona and California (Florida, too) to seek out "seasons", rainy days actually are on their wishlist! I often get asked, "Does it snow?"

Well, being about 600 feet above sea level in the coastal range of Oregon, we are about 6-12 degrees cooler than Portland and so we often get snow when parts of Portland and the surrounding area aren't.

This year it was mild all winter long. No snow, just rain. When others on the east coast were truly suffering in the winter of 2014-2015, we really had it good. Foggy, misty, romantic, but no white stuff!

It's true that the summers have gotten warmer, with the global warming. BUT....there is little humidity and even when the summer days hit 90+ degrees, it's RARE that there is a need for air-conditioning! Just open the doors and let the slight breeze clear out the heat of a late afternoon. Or go jump in the lake! Sweltering--hardly!

This is why people who want to leave the deadly heat of Arizona summer months or southern California just doesn't offer enough seasonal changes, they want to buy at Fishhawk Lake

The greenery, the woods, the lake waters are all a heavenly departure from 102 degree summers. It's a lovely respite from browns, to see all kinds of greenery. The trees are immense here! 

Come join me on a private lake surrounded by forests and mountainous terrain for a change!

I love your area, it is beautiful.  We are loving the covering of clouds we are experiencing today after scorching weather yesterday 91.  We were so glad we decided to go whale watching.  We saw 5 whales with their calves.  A

Well, obviously the first photo is from the north side of the lake, where everyone knows it's always colder.  The rest of the photos are from the warmer, sunny south side of the lake

Hi Gayle - You continue to make a good case for Fishhawk Lake - it's hard not to just dump everything and move there. I like sunshine and I like non-sunshine. What I don't like is heat  - I'd much rather be cold.

You make it sound so enticing - I can't wait to visit Fishhawk Lake!! While I love sunshine - I also love fog and it sounds like Fishhawk Lake has the most wonderful variety of weather conditions.  Who wouldn't want to live there?

It sounds like a little paradise and to have escaped the snow really is quite unusual. The cool breezes and foggy mists sound very relaxing.
